    About this ebook

    "A fresh new voice in Science Fiction." - ★★★★★ review

    The Singularity is coming to Small-town America. Don't get left behind... This near future science fiction collection includes:

    Bob Ten has the strength of six men. But that's not nearly enough to destroy the alien invaders who stole his pants. ("Bob Ten")

    In a small town tormented by insane super-soldiers, every transgression is punishable by death. So what's the harm in a little murder? ("The Judas Horse")

    The dumbing down of Earth has reached its crisis point. But is our artificial stupidity the only thing preventing an alien takeover? ("A Time Without Roads")

    The Anti-Apocalypse is here. A friendly reminder from your automated overlord. ("'Catch_all{}")

    Unaugmented humans have the right to live traditionally. Just don't look behind that curtain... ("NonMetallic")

    These near-future stories include Stever's previously published science fiction, as well as five new essays from the author on human creativity, consciousness, and story creation.

    Praise for the Title Story "Non Metallic" (Originally published as "Tailings of Men")
    "Best among the longer stories might be Stever's 'The Tailings of Men,' in which most of humanity has transcended, in a sense, and the narrator lives in a sort of museum town of unaugmented humans."
    --Rich Horton (sfsite.com)

    -Arroyo Quest

      Nov 10, 2022

      The sound of water coursing over rocks filled my ears. The creek banks reached out with lush green vegetation as if to grab and hold me, and the warm June air was sweet with the smell of honeysuckle. The creek was small. Four good jumps and I could g

      Let’s Say

      Oct 7, 2022

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who
