This is not merely a book and a series of science fiction short stories. It's about sci-fi stories that tell of the impact of technology on the human condition. As with all things, there are consequences of creating, manufacturing, developing, implementing, and using technology. Good can come from the opening of new possibilities, but so can bad. Yet, there is the murky gray in between as well. This is the realm where good and bad mix with uncertain outcomes. Whatever the outcome, these short stories consider the opportunities and the inherent limitations of technology. Where science and humans clash, one often finds crossed circuits.
