These fourteen stories take us to the precipice of change, from the physical, mental, and spiritual to the larger and more nebulous moral and societal changes that transfigure us in myriad ways. The winds of change often arrive unexpectedly and with an unpredictable gusto. Throughout our lives, our bodies, minds, and souls evolve in a variety of ways. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Regardless, one certainty about change remains: We cant control how or when it arrives on our doorstep.</p><p>This collection contains stories of people coming to terms with their mortality and the transition to death. Some meet their fates calmly and are pleasantly surprised, as is the case in Zero Percentwhere misfortune falls Khana Lewis, leaving her drifting alone in spaceand Ride or Diewhere an alien rights activist husband and wife embark on a mission to rescue extraterrestrials from Area 51. Others gasp at their last breaths with fear or regret, like in Progenywhere a scientist throws her accomplished career away to illegally manufacture an evolution of humanity.</p><p>There are also stories of societal flux and the aftermath of such in Holographic Forefatherswhere scientists work to make AI versions of the founding fathers to save the nationand Patriotwhich depicts a hyper-capitalistic globe from the perspectives of those loyal to the almighty dollar and those fighting to overcome it. Others, like Walt Whitman and The Sun and the Shepard, explore the warping of the body and mind into something new and how these changes affect the ever-shifting nature of relationships.</p><p>How will these characters be redefined under the weight of change? How will they become transfigured? How might you, if in their shoes?</p>...4462847Transfiguration194194https://www.gandhi.com.mx/transfiguration-9798224459568/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4169010/image.jpg?v=638444361668630000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249798224459568_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9798224459568_<p>An alien from Area 51, a manufactured human, a human infused with the power of the sun, death on the terrifying and beautiful edge of space.
