This collection of seven stories and a thirty-one thousand word original novella revisits the vivid world of near future India that McDonald so successfully depicted in River of Gods (a BSFA Award winner). Readers will discover a new, muscular superpower of one and a half billion people in an age of artificial intelligences, climate-change induced drought, water wars, strange new genders, genetically improved children that age at half the rate of baseline humanity, and a population where males outnumber females four to one. This future India has fractured into a dozen states from Kerala to the headwaters of the Ganges in the Himalayas. Includes one Hugo Award nominee and one Hugo Award winner.
Contents:
America is not the only planet by Paul McAuley -- Sanjeev and Robotwallah -- Kyle meets the river -- The dust assassin -- An eligible boy -- The little goddess -- The Djinn's wife -- Vishnu at the cat circus.
