37 stories from 32 writers. This book presents winning and shortlisted stories from past editions of the international Quantum Shorts competition. Inspired by the weird and wonderful world of quantum physics, the shorts range from bold imaginings of a quantum future to contemplations rooted in the everyday. Characters of all sorts live between these pages: lovers beginning their lives together, God playing dice, a mother trying to get her daughter out of bed and to school, an atom having an existential crisis, children and their secret under-the bed confidantes, and, of course, cats. Dive in. Let these stories unleash in your mind a multiverse of ideas.
