Using a device that straddles the line between science and magic, a desperate woman seeks to lose herself in the adventures and sensations only it can grant her. She hopes to use it to live out a myriad of possible futures, both hopeful and horrifying - for anything would be better than the crushing loneliness and silence of her present reality. UNMAPPED OCEANS is a short story collection that explores the ideas of adventure and exploration. Its heroes will travel to strange new lands and face perils that they can barely imagine - and all of them, whether good or bad, will learn that exploration rarely brings you what you would expect it to.
