Six Months, Three Days, Five Others e-bog

"e;A master absurdist...Highly recommended."e; -The New York TimesBefore the success of her debut SF-and-fantasy novel All the Birds in the Sky, Charlie Jane Anders was a rising star in SF and fantasy short fiction. Collected in a mini-book format, here-for the first time in print-are six of her quirky, wry, engaging best:In "e;The Fermi Paradox Is Our Business Model,"e; aliens reveal the terrible truth about how humans were created-and why we'll never discover aliens. "e;As Good as New"e; is a brilliant twist on the tale of three wishes, set after the end of the world. "e;Intestate"e; is about a family reunion in which some attendees aren't quite human anymore-but they're still family. "e;The Cartography of Sudden Death"e; demonstrates that when you try to solve a problem with time travel, you now have two problems. "e;Six Months, Three Days"e; is the story of the love affair between a man who can see the one true foreordained future, and a woman who can see all the possible futures. They're both right, and the story won the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Novelette. And "e;Clover,"e; exclusively written for this collection, is a coda to All the Birds in the Sky, answering the burning question of what happened to Patricia's cat.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
