  Have you ever wondered what it's like to live through a bioweapon attack or to have every aspect of your life governed by invisible ants? In Cory Doctorow's collection of novellas, he wields his formidable experience in technology and computing to give us mind-bending sci-fi tales that explore the possibilities of information technology—and its various uses—run amok. 
  "Anda's Game" is a spin on the bizarre new phenomenon of "cyber sweatshops," in which people are paid very low wages to play online games all day in order to generate in-game wealth, which can be converted into actual money. Another tale tells of the heroic exploits of "sysadmins"—systems administrators—as they defend the cyberworld, and hence the world at large, from worms and bioweapons. And yes, there is a story about zombies too.

  A collection of steamy, emotionally charged short stories where connection comes quickly — and lingers long after.
   
  They meet by chance. A lost dog. A rainstorm. A missed turn on a mountain trail. Brief moments — but they echo.
   
  "Whispers Between Strangers" is a thoughtfully crafted collection of short stories exploring those fleeting but unforgettable encounters that shift something inside us. Each story holds a pulse of tension and tenderness — a quiet breath before a kiss, a hand held too long, a parting without a name.
   
  This is romance for those who crave emotion over explicitness, and presence over permanence. An audiobook for thoughtful hearts, midnight listeners, and those who believe that sometimes the shortest stories leave the deepest marks.

  A forty-one-year-old rodeo champion breaks his back in Las Vegas, walks away from the only life he was ever meant for, and flies to a commercial tuna port at the bottom of Australia. He has no plan. He has no next. What he finds in Port Lincoln is a captain who needs a man willing to go into the Southern Ocean and untangle Great White sharks from a fishing net — and a discovery that everything twenty-three years on the back of a bull taught him about staying calm in the presence of something that wants you off its back translates, exactly, to working underwater with animals that are older than mammals and larger than a truck. 
  The Shark Wrangler is a spare, physical novella about loss, the intelligence of the body, and the late grace of a second life you did not plan.
