Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Pop culture, chaos theory and matters of the heart collide in this unique novella from the Hugo and Nebula winning author of Doomsday Book.<BR> Sandra Foster studies fads and their meanings for the HiTek corporation. Bennet O'Reilly works with monkey group behavior and chaos theory for the same<BR> company. When the two are thrust together due to a misdelivered package and a run of seemingly bad luck, they find a joint project in a flock of sheep. But a series of setbacks and disappointments arise before they are able to find answers to their questions.

Synopsis:

This New York Times Notable Book features twelve extraordinary tales, including:
-- The Nebula Award-winning A Letter from the Cleary's, a poignant tale set in the wake of the nuclear holocaust.
-- The Hugo and Nebula finalist The Sidon in the Mirror, which explores the razor's edge of madness.
-- Blue Moon, a madcap story of corporate shenanigans and true love.
- My Darling Daughters, a potent drama of abuse and morality.

Is is science, science fiction, romance, mystery, or a history lesson about fads?
Yes.
Connie Willis takes the reader through an amazing adventure with her wry sense of humor as the guide. If I had to pin this book down, I'd say it was a fairy tale about the scientific method.
