Featuring Ida Keogh's BSFA Award winning story "Infinite Tea in the Demara Café" Militant A.I.s, virtual realities, augmented realities and alternative realities; a city where murderers stalk the streets, where drug lords rule from the shadows, and where large sections of the population are locked in time stasis, but where tea is still sipped in cafés on the corner and the past still resonates with the future... Thirteen stories that look to the future of this diverse, multi-faceted city, that invite the reader to consider different perspectives. Stories that draw you in to possible tomorrows and suggest what may lie just beyond the city’s ever-changing skyline. Neal Asher opens the anthology with a story set in his Polity Universe, Dave Hutchinson gives us a novelette from his Fractured Europe milieu, Jeremy Szal takes us to the world of his debut novel Stormblood, M.R. Carey, Aliette de Bodard, Geoff Ryman, Aliya Whiteley and a cast of equally talented writers transport us to Londons near and far... “London Centric is a real treat for fans of Urban SF… Once again, NewCon Press has pulled together a fine collection of stories from an impressive array of well-known names, producing a very readable and enjoyable collection.” – SFcrowsnest “In some stories, the city itself is an AI character that plays a key role in the goings-on. Technology, more broadly, is a common thread, but the various writers muse on themes as disparate as trauma, surveillance and government interference in private life. You never know what’s coming next, which makes each new story a compelling reason to continue.” – Aurealis Contents: 1. Introduction by Ian Whates 2. Skin – Neal Asher 3.
