Digital Dreams: A Decade of Science Fiction by Women
In 2016, NewCon Press celebrates its 10th birthday. To commemorate this, a number of very special publications are planned, of which Digital Dreams is the first; an eBook-only retrospective anthology gathering together the best science fiction stories written by women authors that NewCon has published during these first 10 years. The early titles were never issued as eBooks, so many of these stories appear here in digital format for the first time.

About the author
Pat Cadigan
267 books452 followersPat Cadigan is an American-born science fiction author, who broke through as a major writer as part of the cyberpunk movement. Her early novels and stories all shared a common theme, exploring the relationship between the human mind and technology.
Her first novel, Mindplayers, introduced what became a common theme to all her works. Her stories blurred the line between reality and perception by making the human mind a real and explorable place. Her second novel, Synners, expanded upon the same theme, and featured a future where direct access to the mind via technology was in fact possible.
She has won a number of awards, including the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award twice,in 1992, and 1995 for her novels Synners and Fools.
She currently lives in London, England with her family.

a Wonderful Collection of Speculative Fiction
Some real gems among this collection. I thoroughly enjoyed how each sci-if author whisked me off to some different reality.

Stunningly good, varied, intriguing collection. Ranges from stomach-churning horror to hilarity to philosophy and everything in between. Would recommend this to anyone who likes scifi
