TOC: ‘The Future Is Japanese’ Edited by Haikasoru
From Haikasoru, here’s the table of contents for the new anthology: The Future is Japanese: Stories From and About the Land of the Rising Sun:
A web browser that threatens to conquer the world. The longest, loneliest railroad on Earth. A North Korean nuke hitting Tokyo, a hollow asteroid full of automated rice paddies, and a specialist in breaking up “virtual” marriages. And yes, giant robots. These thirteen stories from and about the Land of the Rising Sun run the gamut from fantasy to cyberpunk, and will leave you knowing that the future is Japanese!

I’m turning Japanese. I think I’m turning Japanese. I really think so.
Oh, great. Now I have that song stuck in my head… 😛
That toc was published back in february. The book is on amazon already: http://www.amazon.com/The-Future-Is-Japanese-ebook/dp/B008321G0U/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1337371273&sr=1-1
