March Issue
|
David Ira Cleary returns after a long absence with our lead story for March, painting a picture of a fascinating and intricate future world where keeping up with the body modifications of your peers is “The Kewlest Thing of All”—but, as it turns out, not nearly the most important thing. The striking cover is by J.K. Potter.

Also In March
|
British “hard science” writer Paul J. McAuley takes us to a prison in the far reaches of the Solar System, to show us how some consequences of the devastating Quiet War can persist for years after the War is ostensibly over, with deadly results; Deborah Coates makes her Asimov’s debut by demonstrating how a young girl’s life can go in “Forty-Six Directions, None of Them North”: hot new British writer Neal Asher guides us around a mysterious alien planet, where the monstrous and inimical creatures who live there can grind your bones to dust if you make the slightest misstep while investigating “The Gabble”; the popular and prolific Robert Reed explains how some seeds that are scattered can take a very long time to germinate, in the bittersweet “Rwanda”; new writer Chris Roberson invites us along with a Steeplejack on his rounds over the spires and rooftops of an immense and baroque building that covers thousands of square miles, and shows us how to deal with some of the ghosts who haunt it, in “Companion to Owls”; and British writer Chris Beckett sends us into deep space with some astronauts who boldly go where nobody has gone before, and then realize that they can’t find their way back, as they discover a “Dark Eden.”
