Acerca de este título
From boardrooms to befuddled aliens, what if the high-tech absurdities of modern life accelerated to warp speed?
The stories in Neil Rackham's debut science fiction collection, Elliptical Billiard Balls, explore the worlds of business and tech - not to mention English-speaking dogs and aliens who communicate via smells - to create strange new futures.
A cash-strapped religious order turns to a consultant to transform its fortunes; two implanted microchips overcome their differences to take control of their host human; a time-travelling statistician builds herself a sexy, lucrative new life and learns how to cover her tracks; and an Al-equipped lawyer creates Veritrue, an app that fact-checks politicians' and others' media utterances and reports back in real time on screen.
None of these worlds is the reality we live in, but each one has its own strange internal logic and carries hints and shadows of things to come...
Elliptical Billiard Balls is an ideal pick for fans of Love, Death & Robots, listeners who enjoy the hilarious action-packed storytelling of Douglas Adams, and anyone captivated by Martha Wells’ unique, witty perspective on artificial intelligence.
