Broderick has published more prize-winning novels than
most literary academics, more books and essays of theory and critique than most novelists, and more popular science books than most scientists--without losing his sense of humor.

The Last Mortal Generation

       

 Some time during the twenty-first century, ordinary humans like you and me...will be offered new medical treatments that will   lead, eventually, to physical immortality.

 


"In The Last Mortal Generation (1999), the Australian polymath and science fiction writer Damien Broderick has suggested that immortality is not merely desirable – but inevitable. My recommendation of this truly mind-stretching book was not in the least affected by its dedication: "For Arthur C. Clarke, who profiled the future and dreamed of advanced sciences indistinguishable from magic'."--Arthur C. Clarke in Profiles of the Future

Transrealist Fiction: Writing in the Slipstream of Science

     

This volume examines a variety of work from a transrealist perspective, including the writings of Dick, Rucker, Kurt Vonnegut, J.G.Ballard, and John Barth.

 

"Broderick treks the slippery slopes -- a brilliant analyst of metafiction, transrealism, slip-stream, and the rest of the postmodern landscape."
Karen Jay Fowler
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Dreaming 

In this famous novel, specially updated for Fictionwise, an anthropologist travels to the central Australian desert to search for the source of an aboriginal myth. He is astonishing to find the source of the terrible "Rainbow Serpent" deep beneath the sacred Uluru rock formations, now the site of a top-secret military project. The apparently holographic "Gate" he discovers with his nephew leads not just to the origin of a legend, but to the origin of humanity and the true fate of  the dinosaurs, in an escalating series of conceptual breakthroughs that shockingly revises everything we have ever believed about humankind.

1980 Campbell Memorial Award Runner Up; 1981Ditmar Award Winner (Best Australian Long Fiction); Year's Best SF Pick
