Our journey will circumvent that brown, scabbed planet with a single oasis of green over there. Zeta Sector is off limits as well.
Settle back in your seat and enjoy our selection of entertainment on your holovid while we enter the Envision Zone.
Envision: Future Fiction will transport you through universes of possibilities, probabilities, and what-ifs. Some of the pieces are presented in experimental formats like memory cards, training manuals, or instruction sheets.
Can you imagine what would happen if androids learned emotion? Could an AI develop dignity? Could it learn to forgive? Five of the stories in Envision explore android or AI interactions with humans.
What does it take to win the Model Citizen Medal or to qualify for a Procreative License? Careful! It might not be as simple as you expect.
Why do transitioners feel that there is a higher purpose in dying? Is population control a good thing, or could it have unexpected repercussions? In a world without fertility clinics, why would men leave sperm samples with The Ministry? Do aliens live among us? And if they do, what are their intentions?
What would a parent do if their child began to display the dreaded symptoms of creativity in an artless world bereft of painters, singers, and dancers? How might a man react if he could tap into all the knowledge of the internet, wireless networks, and media broadcasts? Would he embrace his aberration?
Are humans the blight of the universe, destroying every celestial body they touch, like schoolyard bullies? Or are they so insignificant that they leave no trace when they become extinct — except, perhaps, for garbage?
Envision: Future Fiction will entertain you with humor and horror, love and hate, desperation and hope — shaped by the imaginations of nine authors with diverse voices.

About the Author
Kathy Steinemann, Grandma Birdie to her grandkids, is an award-winning author who lives in the foothills on the Alberta side of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. She has loved words for as long as she can remember, especially when the words are frightening or futuristic or funny.
As a young child, she scribbled poems and stories. During the progression of her love affair with language, she won public-speaking and writing awards, and she contributed to her school newspaper. Then every Monday, rain or shine, she walked home instead of taking the bus so that she could deliver her latest column to the community weekly.
Her career has taken varying directions, including positions as editor of a small-town paper, computer-network administrator, and webmaster. She has also worked on projects in commercial art and cartooning.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BargainBookStores, Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
