Description:
The idea of a Dark Future is one of the most omnipresent in science fiction and fantasy literature, films, and games. And whether the cause is aliens, vampires, zombies, atomic holocaust, oppressive governments, megacorporations, or divine retribution, the net effects upon most individuals tend to be strikingly similar. It is to this theme that this volume of d-Infinity is dedicated.
