Larry Constantine, wellknown pioneer of computer software, writes science fiction. So do a lot of his colleagues, the programmers, analysts, engineers, and managers who are shaping the computerdriven future taking form in labs and programming shops around the world. This is their collection, not an anthology of "computer science" fiction, but diverse stories joined by a common thread; the desire to challenge the boundaries of human thought and to define and explore future possibilities.You don't have to be a programmer to enjoy these stories. They're stories of human passion and revenge, of liberation and entrapment, stories of whimsy and stories of darker possibilities.Here you'll get a fresh look at friendship through the eyes of a robot planetary explorer "programmed" to be flexible and resourceful, then sent on a long and lonely mission. You'll see corporate rivalry carried to an imaginative new plane. You'll listen in on the angstridden philosophizing of a biotech computer and play games with a zoofull of animals that are not what they seem to be. You'll step into the shoes of some of tomorrow's harried parents reaching for a technological fix for impossible demands of jobs and children. You'll search for love and fulfillment when any fantasy can be made virtual reality and companionship comes in the shape of a computer for a fee, of course.
