Simon Logan is a virtuoso in the art of creating dark apocalyptic worlds in a small story space, “i-o” - his first collection in the industrial genre, consists of eleven stories in which the author explores the inhabitants of futuristic landfills and abandoned factories - unsuccessful hybrids of machines and people who have found a soul. These creatures have little choice: either continue the tough struggle for survival in the primitive man-made world, or go for spare parts after a painful death in a container with acid... The skillful combination of violent imagination, the style of the game "Doom" and black humor made the author a cult among fans as a cyber gothic , and classic science fiction.
