Here are three flash science fiction stories collected in one volume for the first time. (Flash fiction is the name given to ultra-short stories of 1000 words or less.) These stories were originally published by the British science journal Nature in their Futures series of original one-page sci-fi stories.
"My Morning Glory," is a curious tale of a man and his apartment and the helpful entity that rules them both.
In "Timed Release," good housekeeping was never so compelling.
"A Hard Man to Surprise" can be a hard man to please.
About the Author: David Marusek spins quirky tales of science fiction in a little cabin outside Fairbanks, Alaska. He is the winner of the Sturgeon and Endeavour Awards for science fiction, and his work has been translated into ten foreign languages.
"David Marusek, showing a potentially volatile synergy of technology and human foibles, is a writer who gives the impression that he's been to the future, seen it work, and has come back to tell us all about it." - Locus
"I think Marusek could be the one sci- fi writer in a million with the potential to make an increasingly indifferent audience care about the genre again, and he could do it without compromising his voice or dumbing down his subject matter." - Dave Itzkoff New York Times Book Review
