"Welcome to Mary Soon Lee's world, where the house plants gossip, your blender can fall in love, and aliens speak in perfect Swahili. Mary writes science fiction in the soft tradition, focused on human emotions and the conflicts of people forced to deal with a world that is not the one they would choose to live in: stories, that is, about real human beings."
--Geoffrey A. Landis, author of Mars Crossing

"Mary Soon Lee gives us a powerful collection of tales about technology, usually gone awry, occasionally--with amusing results--gone sideways. These are stories about the clash between advanced processes and our best instincts. She leaves us with the conviction that our basic decency will hang on. If only by its fingertips."
--Jack McDevitt, author of Infinity Beach and Deepsix

" . . . a knack for imparting much information and stirring emotion in a short space . . . an incisive, gentle voice providing insight into the hearts of the character she has brought to life."
--Jennifer A. Hall, Locus
