Jack Waters Send In The Clones is a novel-in-progress by Jack Waters in the tradition of Huxleyan social science fiction, where a global future shaped by biotechnical corporate control is challenged by an insurgency of cyber eroticism led by genetically altered sexual outcasts. Sometimes the simulation is better than the real thing. About the Author Jack Waters is a recipient of Franklin Furnace's residency for producing live art on the Internet in THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT series at Parsons School of Design, Digital Design Department. His video short The Male Gayze was shown at the Whitney Museum of American Art's February 1995 exhibition, The Black Male. His writing has appeared in numerous publications including New York Blade News, LGNY, Poz Magazine, and Conde Nast Bride's Magazine. Jill Dearman The Regressionist by Jill Dearman takes place in the not too distant future, when biological engineering is widely used by the government to create a healthy, homogenous and heterosexual society. Dr. Marina Forman works as a past life regressionist who helps to cure her patients' physical and psychological ailments by identifying the traumas they suffered in previous incarnations. At the same time, she is being watched and manipulated by the powerful men who regulate this now ultra respectable profession. Marina begins to discover who she really was in previous lives, and who she loved, and must keep the truth about her own psyche a secret. When a strange and horrible disease hits the most privileged sector of society, she must find a way to help the afflicted and fulfill her own destiny as a healer, and as an individual. About the Author JILL DEARMAN is the author of the popular QUEER ASTROLOGY books (St. Martins 1999). She is a 2000-2001 artist in residence at the HERE Arts Center where she is developing her multimedia play DYKE CORRIDOR.
