Description

The world: 'Cyberabad' is the India of 2047, a new, muscular superpower of one and a half billion people in an age of artificial intelligences, climate-change induced drought, water-wars, strange new genders, genetically improved children that age at half the rate of baseline humanity and a population where males out-number females four to one. India herself has fractured into a dozen states from Kerala to the headwaters of the Ganges in the Himalayas.

Cyberabad is a collection of 7 stories: The Little Goddess. The Djinn's Wife. The Dust Assassin. Jasbir and Sujay go Shaadi. Sanjeev and Robotwallah. Kyle meets the River. Vishnu at the Cat Circus.
