He has also used the pseudonym Brian Craig for a couple of very early works, and again for a few more recent works. The pseudonym derives from the first names of himself and of a school friend from the 1960s, Craig A. Mackintosh, with whom he jointly published some very early work.

The first six volumes are considered the main sequence and were published out of series order; preferred reading order shown below is established from the author's introduction to volume 6, ''The Omega Expedition''. This series is also related to, though not always entirely consistent with, the 8 collections and 5 novels subtitled "Tales of the Biotech Revolution", see below.
The term "emortality", intended to indicate near-immortality as opposed to absolute immortality, is acknowledged by Stableford (in the acknowledgments to volume 3, ''Dark Ararat'') to have been coined by Alvin Silverstein in his 1979 book, ''Conquest of Death''.
In the introduction to his 2007 collection, ''The Tree of Life and Other Tales of the Biotech Revolution'', Stableford describes this series as "tracking the potential effects of possible developments in biotechnology on the evolution of global society.

#*"''Le Fleurs du Mal'': A Tale of the Biotech Revolution" (na), ''Asimov's'' October 1994; text corrected here, per the author's introduction: "...I eventually decided to finish the novel version of ''Les Fleurs du Mal'' anyway, and completed it in 1992. I wrote the story to what seemed its natural length (68,000 words) but could not sell it...I decided to cut the text drastically and attempt to sell an abridged version of the story to one or other of the sf magazines as a novella. The present text is the 29,000-word result of that cut, although Gardner Dozois—who bought it for publication in the October 1994 issue of ''Asimov's Science Fiction''—insisted on cutting out the gratuitous car chase, thus reducing the published version to 27,000 words."; later expanded into the novel ''Architects of Emortality'', see above
