''Arctic Sky'' tells of a young climate activist who discovers her own courage in the frozen depths of a Russian prison. ''Palimpsest'' is set on a bionic (living)space station that launches explorers into the farthest reaches of Time and Space. In ''The Room on the Roof'' an ancient culture meets modern mysteries with unexpected results. Our non-fiction title piece, ''Utopias of the Third Kind,'' is a first look at actual utopias that are responding to our looming dystopian nightmare. ''Hunger'' is a short story that finds both understanding and forgiveness for humankind''s original sin. Our Outspoken Interview and a bibliography round out this new collection.
Industry Reviews

"A most promising and original young writer."
--Ursula K. Le Guin

"Vandana Singh's radiant protagonist is a planet unto herself."
--Village Voice

"...individual sections illuminate and provide a rounded backdrop to the whole, until by the end of this finely layered novella I felt as though I had met a fully formed human being--not to mention a number of fascinating characters--and all with a mathematical conundrum of epic proportions with dire import for the cultures of two planets."
--Bob Blough, Tangent Online

"Singh mixes mathematical, artistic, and sociocultural speculation in a way that feels holistic precisely because it is aware of where those different domains intersect and interact."
--Niall Harrison, host of Torque Control

"Lovely! What a pleasure this book is ... full of warmth, compassion, affection, high comedy and low."
--Molly Gloss, author of The Hearts of Horses

"Sweeping starscapes and daring cosmology that make Singh a worthy heir to Cordwainer Smith and Arthur C. Clarke."
Chris Moriarty, Fantasy & Science Fiction

"...the first writer of Indian origin to make a serious mark in the SF world ... she writes with such a beguiling touch of the strange."
Nilanjana Roy, Business Standard
