Reviews"I would recommend this collection to everyone and anyone. If you like River of Gods , this collection is a must-have. If you haven't read [it], this collection should show you what you're missing, and provide an introduction to this fascinating world." -- SFRevu "A terrific book and a satisfying return to the world of River of Gods. Ian McDonald is a genius, pure and simple... Highly recommended! 8.5/10" -- Pat's Fantasy Hotlist "...sure to be one of the most talked-about books of the year..." -- Fantasy Book Criti c "Ian McDonald is one of science fiction's finest working writers, and his latest short story collection...is the kind of book that showcases exactly what science fiction is for . Cyberabad Days has it all: spirituality, technology, humanity, love, sex, war, environmentalism, politics, media -- all blended together to form a manifesto of sorts, a statement about how technology shapes and is shaped by all the wet, gooey human factors. Every story is simultaneously a cracking yarn, a thoughtful piece of technosocial criticism, and a bag of eyeball kicks that'll fire your imagination. The field is very lucky to have Ian McDonald working in it." -- Boing Boing.ne t " Wonderfully imagined world; great story ideas; McDonald's well-crafted prose delivers enjoyment on several levels. An excellent collection of stories that serves as both starting place for readers new to this world, and fascinating return trips for those who have been here before." -- SF Signal, "I would recommend this collection to everyone and anyone.

SynopsisThis collection of seven stories and a thirty-one thousand word original novella revisits the vivid world of near future India that McDonald so successfully depicted in River of Gods (a BSFA Award winner). Readers will discover a new, muscular superpower of one and a half billion people in an age of artificial intelligences, climate-change induced drought, water wars, strange new genders, genetically improved children that age at half the rate of baseline humanity, and a population where males outnumber females four to one. This future India has fractured into a dozen states from Kerala to the headwaters of the Ganges in the Himalayas. Includes one Hugo Award nominee and one Hugo Award winner.
