Journey forward into time, to 802,701 A.D. into a peaceful land of four feet tall humans who call themselves the Eloi. These happy, simple people know no disease, poverty, war, or wanton destruction. They have no need for technology or any more improvements to their lives. The Time Traveller discovers that these people are in fact descendants of man, the remainder of what was a once-great culture. Are they living the ideal life? Or is their peace and happiness the downside of an unimaginative culture? |

BLACK & WHITE |
Lewis Shiner ( - ) http://www.lewisshiner.com |
The first Fiction Liberation Front Creative Commons licensed novel.
"Lewis Shiner's latest, Black & White, is killer. Strong characters, suspenseful situations, and tremendous insight. A novel that doesn't flinch from social issues, and is so gracefully written it makes you want to weep. Should not be missed. Lewis Shiner is the real deal, and this is his finest work."
--Joe R. Lansdale
