From the birthplace of the robot comes an anthology of contemporary speculative fiction that melds fresh innovation with rich heritage. From the Land of Robots and Golems gathers some of the most striking voices in 21st century Czech speculative fiction, offering visions that range from the cold brilliance of distant stars to the intimate strangeness of dream-woven worlds. Within these pages, artificial intelligences ponder their own existence, dragons light the night sky, and futures both wondrous and terrifying unfold. Steeped in the rich legacy of Karel Čapek and infused with the daring of a new generation, this anthology invites readers to explore stories where the question of what it means to be human remains as urgent as ever.
