Shane Tourtellotte has been showing us a series of visions of the future in which “overlays” can be used to reform human beings in a way far beyond the means of old-style “reformers,” by effectively rewiring their brains with traits deemed more desirable. Initially, of course, the method was used on a small scale and with great caution, to turn the most “incorrigible” criminals into people the rest of us could live with. But one thing led to another, and this month’s novella “Trial By Fire” is what the author describes as the crisis point of the whole series. Given some success with such a new and powerful tool, what happens when a culture-wide trauma suddenly provides an irresistible temptation to use it on a far larger scale?

We also have stories by, among others, Michael A. Burstein and Robert Greenberger, John G. Hemry, and Jerry Oltion, plus Part 2 of Karl Schroeder’s serial Queen of Candesce. Richard A. Lovett provides the fact article, “The Ice That Wasn’t,” about archeological evidence of a time when some of our ancestors’ early efforts at global warming may have unwittingly averted a genuine catastrophe.
