Synopsis
This is a book about possibilities: a collection of eighteen stories that challenge our most basic assumptions, set forth promising new realities, and after hope for the future. Each story deals with desperate people embroiled in conflict, who choose to turn away from violence or war, who realize that humans --- and other races --- can learn to live in peace.
When the Music's Over is a grand tour of the hopeful side of the speculative imagination, conducted by eighteen of science fiction's brightest talents.
