{"product_id":"2940014401418","title":"Anomalies, a Collection of Short Fiction","description":"A Collection of New York Times bestselling author Gregory Benford's short science fiction: Ranging from comic to apocalyptic, the stories of Anomalies challenge concepts of time, space and science. And all the while, Author Gregory Benford's characters charm us. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's Claire, the hard-boiled, randy spacecraft hack – \"Do I look like a people person?\" – and her heroic efforts, all in the name of a fast buck in The Worm In the Well and its sequel, The Worm Turns. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr the puzzle of The Man Who Wasn't There – can we one day hope to elude detection by deflecting light around objects? Use science to escape society's justice?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan we find a way to stretch time out past a single life-line? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnomalies, the title story, asks a physics-shattering question: what happens if there is a computational error in reality? It's the sort of question that both tickles and challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnomalies includes Afterwords and insights by Gregory Benford into his writing methods, sometimes quite idiosyncratic – and into the stories behind the stories in Anomalies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his short fiction, Gregory Benford takes a fresh look at how science and technology alter our world and ourselves. Sometimes irrevocably.","brand":"Lucky Bat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070596464880,"sku":"2940014401418","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014401418_p0.jpg?v=1763607748","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014401418","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
