Product Description
24 Stories that hold a mirror up to mankind. Before reading this book, make sure to take your medications as directed. These stories take no prisoners. They are direct, frank, and most skillfully blunt. They are not designed to be politically correct. They are not designed to pamper. They are designed to make you think. Prepare to learn a great deal about yourself. The authors are from all corners of this world, so if you feel the spelling is off at times, you are simply reading them in the wrong country. Fasten your seat-belts. Enjoy.

A professional product, a dystopian look at the future of man September 13, 2008
"The Ninth Doctor" (New York, NY)
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
Satirica is a gigantic 24 Story, Hardcover Science Fiction collection with a focus not only on the satirical and speculative nature of things to come concerning political, religious, and social issues, but a profound awareness of how humans interact -- or how humanity is to be perceived -- when put to the test in futuristic (post-apocalyptic), character-driven dystopias; some even heavily reliant on Ancient Myth and Tribal Tradition (e.g., The Native Americans, The Phoenicians). Many of the stories are offbeat, different, surreal, somewhat Slipstream, and offer a wide variety of opinions and different perspectives as to where we're at and what's yet to come. Most of all where WE, as a race, DEFINE ourselves and in what direction our very own personal discoveries allow us to be headed.
It is, indeed, a must own collection for any enthusiast of the literary form. Many of the authors within its pages are certified and proven professionals and semi-professionals with a track record from a long range of magazines and webzines, and to see them all in one grandiose collection, is remarkable above words.
