{"product_id":"six-months-three-days-five-others","title":"Six Months, Three Days, Five Others","description":"\"A master absurdist...Highly recommended.\" ―The New York Times\n\nBefore the success of her debut SF-and-fantasy novel All the Birds in the Sky, Charlie Jane Anders was a rising star in SF and fantasy short fiction. Collected in a mini-book format, here―for the first time in print―are six of her quirky, wry, engaging best:\n\nIn \"The Fermi Paradox Is Our Business Model,\" aliens reveal the terrible truth about how humans were created―and why we'll never discover aliens.\n\n\"As Good as New\" is a brilliant twist on the tale of three wishes, set after the end of the world.\n\n\"Intestate\" is about a family reunion in which some attendees aren't quite human anymore―but they're still family.\n\n\"The Cartography of Sudden Death\" demonstrates that when you try to solve a problem with time travel, you now have two problems.\n\n\"Six Months, Three Days\" is the story of the love affair between a man who can see the one true foreordained future, and a woman who can see all the possible futures. They're both right, and the story won the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Novelette.\n\nAnd \"Clover,\" exclusively written for this collection, is a coda to All the Birds in the Sky, answering the burning question of what happened to Patricia's cat.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0765394898\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0765394898.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Anders, Charlie Jane\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
