Harrison takes a look at what might happen if seriously useful Matter Transmission was available, including for human transport over cosmological distances.

A series of interconnected short stories, "One Step From Earth" chronicles the future history of the discovery of B-space - instant teleportation between huge distances just by stepping through a doorway. From the first discovery through the far, far future we see how humanity adapts to the technology, and how the technology adapts to humanity's needs. From colonizing Mars, to contact with alien life, to interstellar war, to the future of human evolution, Harrison intersperses bits of humor, intrigue, crime and mystery as only he can. A delightful read!
