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 things can come from opening new possibilities, but so can bad things. Yet, there is the murky gray in between as well. This is the realm where good and bad mix.
Whatever the outcome, these short stories consider the opportunities and the inherent limitations of technology. Where science and humans fail to co-exist well, you will often find crossed circuits.
