Every square inch of dry land has been paved, stoned, steel-plated, solarized, or concreted. What was once a thriving advanced civilization of twenty billion people has been reduced to only millions, if that. Nobody really knows because technology has been abandoned, untrusted by the current occupants of the planet. Regressing to a time when animals were used as transportation and tribes warred against each other using barbaric weapons, a young man decides that perhaps, their ways are not as advanced as the people of his tribe think they are. Jasaun and the Apple Flooshe is just one story you'll find in this collection.
