Coming Soon: LONDON CENTRIC, featuring Aliette de Bodard!


In a couple of weeks (October 27th), NewCon Press is due to publish LONDON CENTRIC, a collection of ‘Tales of Future London’. We’re happy to report that Aliette de Bodard has a story in it: A DANCE OF DUST AND LIFE! Here’s the collection’s synopsis…

Militant A.I.s, virtual realities, augmented realities and alternative realities; a city where murderers stalk the streets, where drug lords rule from the shadows, and where large sections of the population are locked in time stasis, but where tea is still sipped in cafés on the corner and the past still resonates with the future…

Thirteen stories that look to the future of this diverse, multi-faceted city, that invite the reader to consider different perspectives. Stories that draw you in to  possible tomorrows and suggest what may lie just beyond the city’s ever-changing skyline.

Aliette is the award-winning author of the Dominion of the Fallen series, published by Gollancz (UK), Roc Books and JABberwocky (North America); the Xuya Universe, many of which are published by Subterranean Press and JABberwocky; and many more acclaimed and award-nominated short and long fiction.

Aliette’s next book is FIREHEART TIGER, due to be published by Tor.com on February 9th.
