********************
Issue 01 – Spring 2009
The first international issue of our magazine, edited by Giovanni “X” De Matteo and Salvatore Proietti, is now available. 80 pages of science fiction and visions from the future: short stories, articles, and illustrations. Our special guest is Takeshi Kovacs, whose birth is described by his author Richard K. Morgan.
From the editorial:
“Let us throw a few dreaming jewels in the teeth of all the killers in high places saying their prayers aloud. Let us snatch bodies off the hands of the other whisperers lurking on the threshold of darkness. Let us move beyond the hour of the Dragon, and step onto the stage of the Big Time. No surprise, this side of the veil of Maya is as contradictory as the nature of the Real and of the Reality Studio.”
