About the Book

Far into our future humankind controls the fabric of reality with such ease that "here" and "there" have become one. Space is bent such that many separate worlds exist, most in complete ignorance of the others. The Asymptote's Tail begins the story of the interactions between seven of those worlds. In one, a servant imagines life with no master and learns if she can withstand the risks that come with freedom. In another, a young girl is forced into freedom of another kind when her parents disappear and she sets out to find them. An actor learns how much work is done by who in which worlds and decides what he wants to do about it, a black cat tries to decipher the ways of humankind and protect his owner as she does the same, an assembly line worker seeks revenge for the death of her son, a police officer learns what the job entails and decides if he can stay on the force, and a scientist vies to regain control over her inventions which are being used to wreak havoc on all the worlds of Outland. As each new perspective illuminates experiences from the old, the Sisyphean nature of chasing an endless limit and the totality of contradictions inherent in a divided system become clear. "Then" and "now" take on as little difference as "here" and "there", for in the end, we are all, everywhere, and forever chasing The Asymptote's Tail. The Asymptote's Tail is an epic science fiction novel and the first in the four-part Infinite Limits series.
About the Author: Bryan Perkins is a writer and activist who lives in Mid City New Orleans. He's not sure if his cat actually speaks, but he does know that Mr. Kitty spins a good yarn.
