Selection of Short Stories

E. W. Farnsworth's brainy and visionary short stories in this volume are meant to be read individually as invitations to other of his creations. The uncanny interplay of the writer and his context can be understood by the thoughtful, patient reader capable of perceiving semantic patterns beneath the surface of words.

The excerpt from ïNightworld: A Novel of Virtual RealityÍ inspired the cover image for this book since the woman with the wolf in the forest is a boundary-crossing Artificial Intelligence.
Part of FarnsworthÍs epic vision for the future of humankind, AIs and robotics, the stories from ïDarkFire' and 'DarkFire ContinuumÍ weave a continuous cosmology as the adventures of the spaceship ïArcturus' begin.
These stories reveal how their many intellectual games open vistas to the authorÍs past and future stories as well as to inventions and discoveries on the far-horizon of human thought.
E. W. Farnsworth is currently working on a visionary epic poem, ïVoyage of the Spaceship Arcturus'.
