BACK COVER TEXT:

A PASSAGE FROM ERGO SUM:
'Genesis for the Others'

As if for me alone, the Sun dawns. It stirs me
from a strange place, back to my world. Last
night's fire still smoulders as I grab the stone
jug and gulp from its contents. Water from a
nearby stream glugs down my throat. I am alert.
The still-glowing embers in the fire pit shrink
and die, slowly but without fail. My People are
fewer than before, yet I see more of the Tall
People every season.

It would be nice to eat this morning. It would be
nice to hunt today and feast tonight. The Tall
People hunt, and they hunt well.

I stop this line of thinking.

Ergo Sum - ‘Therefore I am’ - is a collection of five speculative fiction stories by a pair of up-and-coming writers. These stories share no plot or theme, beyond musing on the general nature of consciousness. What does it mean, after all, to be human? Can a machine be human? Or a primitive Neanderthal?

And how about a cocaine-addled Scot?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
