The future isn't here yet. But don't worry. It will be.

Welcome to Orion's Arm, a scenario set thousands of years in the future when civilization spans the stars. Godlike ascended intelligences rule vast interstellar empires, and lesser factions seek to carve out their own dominions through intrigue and conquest. And out beyond the edge of civilized space and the human friendly worlds, adventure awaits those prepared to risk all.

Collected here for your consideration are twelve stories exploring the Orion's Arm universe, spanning years and light-years to examine a complex and diverse future from its beginnings in the colonized Solar System to its continuing advance toward an uncertain destiny.

About the Orion's Arm Universe Project

Orion's Arm is a work in progress, a space opera setting like no other. It spans the next ten thousand years of galactic history, from the near future interplanetary colonization to distant eras when humanity's descendants have split into millions of different species ruled by superhuman machines. It incorporates hard science, and the "soft" or social sciences to create a rich and complex vision of a world that might someday be.

The Orion's Arm Universe Project is continually growing and evolving as more contributions are added, and will therefore never be complete. We invite you to join us on this journey of imagination; after all it looks like we've barely gotten started, and there are still many worlds left to explore.

Great, but too short.

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is very detailed, but it ended just as I got into it. This was a very good book overall, and its scientific plausibility was great. Everything was perfectly plausible, even the highest intelligence AIs (so powerful they need an entire star's energy to run) were realistically developed (though I don't see why or how people would make them). The characters were realistically developed, though some (by this I mean very little) of it was impractical. The backstory was very deep all around (probably due to the fact that this book is based off a large online universe people on the internet have built up). This book was really good, and I would definitely buy again, even though I already have a kindle copy. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in sci-go books, especially hard SF and Transhumanist SF.

Short stories in a well thought-out universe

I enjoyed these short stories quite a bit. The biggest drawback is that this well fleshed out universe doesn't come with a career's worth of books in it!

Really good set of short stories that covers the effects of technological change and explores some of the more socialogical issues as well. Would have liked to have seen more focus around the transapients but no worries.

The stories, as always, are a little bit mid bending but offer tantalizing glimpses into a far distant future.

Nicht übel.

Reviewed in Germany on February 24, 2014

Der Band enthält eine Reihe von Kurzgeschichten, die sich an der Geschichte des Settings gleichsam entlang hangeln. Vor jeder Geschichte kommt eine kurze Zusammenfassung über den behandelten Zeitabschnitt. Wer OA nicht kennt, kann sich so vermutlich einfinden. Fans können das wohl überspringen.

Die Geschichten variieren stark, auch qualitativ. Thematisch erstrecken sie sich von Ein Tag im Leben von..., über Seemannsgarn bis hin zu einem wirklich großartigen Police Procedural. Fans können Skalosak in ihrer heimischen Umgebung trefen.

Einige Geschichten sind schon an anderer Stelle im Netz veröffentlich unter anderem Cargo of Gods und Bunny Love.
