Specialty Definition: Axiomatic

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Axiomatic is a 1995 collection of short science fiction stories by Greg Egan.

Axiomatic contains the following short stories.

The stories are difficult to summarize, and an amazon.co.uk review explains part of the reason why: "Egan delivers shocking body-blows to received ideas in thought-experiment stories that like Jorge Luis Borges's philosophical squibs are booby-trapped with terrible truths and paradoxes." The Guardian sums it up more neatly: "Wonderful mind-expanding stuff, and well-written too."
