The Black Swan, a rogue hacker, programs his way into alternate versions of Italy. A Parthenopean assassin awaits his destiny in the arms of a two-headed noblewoman. Infuriating to both artists and scientists, a robot wheelchair makes uncategorizable creations. Bruno Argento is the acknowledged master of Italian science fiction. Yet that same popular fantascienza author also is known in America--as Bruce Sterling. In Robot Artists and Black Swans, we present the first collection of their uniquely visionary Italian-themed fiction, including tales never before published in English."--Amazon. 650 0 $a Steampunk fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722065035.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210602011621.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210501010041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B2A7628AA4211EB94D5E8E050ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
