Publisher's Synopsis
"If you enjoy seeing the workings of a truly original mind, this is a great book for you. The premise of each story is a very unusual take on the sorts of questions that humanity wrestles with. Even questions that we wrestle with all the time (examples: how can an omnibenevolent God let humans suffer? what does a perfect world look like-and would we really like it?) receive unique treatment."-Ina Roy-Faderman
