TVA Baby

TVA Baby Beginning with a harrowing high speed ride through the Upper South and ending in a desperate search through New Orleans graveyards for Darwin's doomsday machine, Terry Bisson's newest collection of short stories covers a wide range of topics. From droll faux FAQ's written for the UK's Science Magazine via his most seductive Playboy fantasies to an eerie dreamlike evocation of the 9/11 that might have been, his eclectic collection is as diverse as it is entertaining.

Numbers Don't Lie

Numbers Don't Lie Everybody should have a friend like Wilson Wu. Everybody should have a friend like Wilson Wu. Rock musician, Volvo mechanic, trial lawyer, camel driver, aeronautics engineer, and entomological meteorologist, Wilson Wu is the man to call if you stumble on, say, a rift in the space-time continuum. He’ll do the math. You handle the financial transactions, especially with the guy who runs the junkyard. Gently witty, seductive, and intoxicating as Kentucky whiskey in Park Slope, Numbers Don’t Lie takes us from deepest Brooklyn to the Deep South and back again, on a journey of friendship, romance, and wacky physics that just might be true. Bisson’s prose, compact as an iPod and smooth as an I-80 on-ramp, is, he explains, “scrupulously illustrated with Wilson Wu’s formulas, all of which have been reviewed for elegance by famed mathematician Rudy Rucker.” Can we trust Terry Bisson? Of course! Check out the math: Numbers Don’t Lie.

Every five thousand years, the universe needs a hero, and in New York City of the 23rd Century, a good hero is hard to find.
