  A buried treasure and a cat fishing tournament where the winners are predestined come together in the Unis Shellington IV's  hysterically funny novella "Channel Cats".  Based in northern Louisiana Terrence Ida (fisherman extraordinaire) invites he new 'best friend' Newby to join him in the upcoming cat fishing tournament on Manassas Brown Bayou.  Beatrice (treasure hunter extraordinaire) invites Newby to join her search of F. I. P. (workstation for all, a mid-sized machine shop) for 'Hap's Money', a pile of loot he was accused of stealing over twenty years ago.  These two facets of Newby's life (treasure hunting and cat fishing) are both blended together, and on a collision course within Unis's tale, one that will have you laughing out loud as Beatrice and Terrence lead Newby on their own far-fetched adventures.

  EFF meets many speculative fiction fans in the course of its work to protect digital civil liberties, and the 21 stories in this collection inspire a sharper sense of the futures we may experience and the role of rights and freedoms there. The authors explore the wonders and perils of technology over the next 25 years and beyond, imagining the consequences of everything from abusive intellectual property lawsuits to out-of-control viral marketing, from over-protective intelligent fridges to violently loyal cyber-pets.

Paranormal romance author Carolyn Jewel is the lead plaintiff in Jewel v. NSA, EFF’s long-running lawsuit against warrantless collection of electronic communications. Her novella, "Free Fall," rounds out the collection.
