An interviewer at a centre for gifted children encounters a child whose perception of the world defies human comprehension. A man experiencing time lapses suspects he may be guilty of murder. A helping hand for the homeless and an unbelievable job opportunity for the unskilled—in a hostile future, can such benevolence be trusted? A man displaced through time over and over again struggles to comprehend his fate while a former space marine discovers that falling in love with an alien can have unintended side effects.
These science fiction stories explore diverse aspects of the human mind—its incredible ability to remember, its adaptability when faced with extreme events, its capacity to interface with technology, its perception of time—and how all these aspects challenge our sense of who we really are.
