For those of you who are reading this book without previous experience of this expansive universe here is a brief introduction: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Sime Gen is a series of novels written by Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah. It is set in a future where humans have mutated into two subspecies. Simes, who go through a brief but dramatic change at puberty and Gens, whose change, while just as dramatic, is invisible to the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The outward sign of the Simes' change is development of tentacles on their forearms, four strong and flexible \"handling\" tentacles and two smaller tentacles just for selyn transfer, called \"laterals.\" Gens produce life energy called \"selyn\" which Simes require once a month to live. Unfortunately, the result in obtaining this energy is usually the death of the Gen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This physical transformation happens just prior to puberty. There is no way of knowing, before that, if a person will be Sime or Gen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e At the chronological beginning of the published novels by Jacqueline, and Jean, a second mutation of Sime emerges. These \"channels\" are able to keep Simes from Killing Gens, thus saving mankind from self-annihilation. The stories that you find here, and the published books by Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah, explore the role of these new Simes, and the Gens who live side by side with them as humankind struggles to become one again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This volume was edited by Zoe Farris and Karen L.
