And Smell Over IP follows the dot-bomb-era story of a start-up that digitized the sense of smell. "Moderation" features a programmer-lawyer turned detective in a neo-noir tale with a twist worth of The Twilight Zone.

From the Napoleonic Wars to the mid-21st Century, the eleven stories in Sex in Space, the Assembly of the Dead, and Other Stories are told with humor, wit, and a keen sense of observation. Inventors, entrepreneurs, CIA spooks, and scientists share the page with famous characters from literature and history, tracing the path of a shadowy enigma.
