Opis

Most people don't associate Science Fiction with humor. But with Social Science Fiction set in the Near Future on Earth, the focus is on characters everyone can all relate to. And when dropped into challenging and dangerous future situations, their reactions can make one smile, chuckle - or laugh out loud. Come read nearly a dozen short SciFi stories, divided by age group. Got a Science Project in elementary school to save the AntPeople on a fictitious planet? How about beta testing a simple new FPS video game, where ghosts of the killed show up in your dreams? And can a family arrive at do-able solutions when their tropical aquarium keeps being invaded by piranha? Even adulthood gets no breaks in this collection Want to be in prison with all the other "addicted" computer hackers, with tattoos designating skill level? Or take your first exo-solar family vacation, where deciphering the hotel's Room Service menu nearly requires a degree in exo-biology? No easy answers for the characters in this short story collection And you are welcome to laugh along with their adventures, challenges, stumbles, mistakes - and eventual, if slightly odd, final triumphs.
