SMFS list member Lisa Morton’s short story, The
Gardener's Mystery, appears in the recently released anthology, The
Reinvented Detective: Tales of Futuristic Crimes & Mysteries Beyond Time.
Published by CAEZIK SF & Fantasy, imprint
of Arc Manor, the book is available at Amazon
and other vendors.
Amazon Description:
The evolution of crime, punishment, and justice in the
future.
What happens when time and technology change the
definition of crime and punishment?
Science fiction often focuses on future technology
without considering the society housing it. Social norms may change as tech
changes — or not. What will criminals, investigators, judges, and juries look
like in a complicated future of clones, uploaded intelligences, artificial
brains, or body augmentation? What stories emerge when we acknowledge the
possibilities of new laws, new police methods, and the birth of sentient
Artificial Intelligence, as well as all the ways they can clash or combine?
The Reinvented Detective presents stories that
complicate law and order as well as the concept of criminals, detectives,
punishment, and justice for all by showing how shifting technology, the rise of
sentient AIs, and shifting social attitudes may affect what is not only
acceptable, but expected, within both real world and digital communities—and
everything in-between. These stories reinvent detective and true crime tropes,
recasting them for the 21st century, and above all, experimenting, astonishing,
and entertaining.
