Let visionary author Christine Danse and Timid Pirate Publishing show you the dangers and wonders of nature 2.0. Harnessing the power of nature, the Growing Dread anthology show us biological futures that could be. If the human brain is the best computer in the world, what happens when someone learns how to hack it? Tonight's story asks "What if you could complete custom pets?" The answer turns out to be more problematic--and exciting--than our hero expects in "How to Hack Your Dragon" by Christine Danse. This story, and others, are available in Growing Dread: Biopunk Visions from Timid Pirate Publishing.
