Want something to read while you sit down for just a few minutes on the bus or in a waiting room? Here's just the thing--forty authors, forty stories, mostly under 2,000 words, mostly reprints. Grouped according to their themes--artificial intelligence, technology, space, time travel, space aliens, the arts and media, religion, strange relationships, and reviving the past. There are even a few shaggy dogs.
Just remember--one sitting, one read Others are waiting
