Café at the End of the Internet (Reworked Second Edition)

Café at the End of the Internet, G. Michael Rapp’s debut speculative fiction story collection, will take you from the far edge of the galaxy to the peripheries of the seedier side of the World Wide Web. Each story explores a range of sub-genres, with unique characters who come to life on the page: From an interstellar spy on a backwater planet to a movie rental store guru who hates his job, to a former cop who wears the uniform once more in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The stories that follow will surely entice and entertain, as this collection takes readers to futures near and far while exploring fundamental questions concerning what it is to be human and what we do with the often-squandered gifts of intelligence and consciousness. This collection will offer readers a surprise at every turn of the page.
