Neither science fiction nor fact has explained all that we know of our world. How then can we expect them to explain that which we only believe or hope to be real? Where might the answers be? Are they in the machines or cures we have created? Are they with those who left this life but not this world? Or are they not even on this planet but out in space or in the hands of gods we have not met? In this collection of tales today's newest science fiction and fantasy writers explore these questions and share the answers they have discovered.
