KING'S KNIGHT is a still-prophetic virtual-world novella written in 1971 about a Chessman with no memory of any other life, struggling with his suspicion there is more to his world than he is allowed to know. From the beginning of cybertelempathy in a 1965 grad student's basement lab, to the man who steals a remotely-operated "gnome" to commit a crime, to the mother who wants to love her baby again and again, these are humorous, exciting, and sometimes provocative visions of what might have been, and yet may be.
The dictionary defines mythology as a collection of ancient tales handed down over millennia, mainly dealing with gods and goddesses, that explains the way the world works, from natural events to society at large. Many people think of the deities of Greece and Rome when they think of mythology, forgetting that almost every culture has its own set of myths to interpret and explain its distinct worldview, often showing striking and fascinating similarities to the classical myths most people are familiar with. The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Mythologyexplores the gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, monsters and angels of the myths from every corner of the globe - the Americas, the Middle East and Africa, Asia, and more. Additionally, it explores the parallels between every culture, including Greece and Rome - striking similarities in mythic figures and the structure, action, wording, and result of the stories themselves.
