TVA Baby by Terry Bisson
Beginning with a harrowing, high-speed ride through the Upper South (a TVA baby is a good ol' boy with a Yankee father and a 12-gauge) and ending in a desperate search through New Orleans graveyards for Darwin's doomsday machine ("Charlie's Angels"), Terry Bisson's newest collection of short stories covers all the territory between--from his droll faux-FAQ's done for Britain's Science magazine, to the most seductive of his Playboy fantasies ("Private Eye"), to an eerie dreamlike evocation of the 9/11 that might have been ("A Perfect Day"). On the way we meet up with Somali Pirates, a perfect-crime appliance (via PayPal) and a visitor from Atlantis who just wants a burger with fries, please.
Readers who like cigarettes, lost continents, cars, lingerie, or the Future will be delighted. For those who don't, there's always Reality TV.
Terry Bisson is the host of the popular SF in SF reading series, as well as the editor of the Outspoken Writers pocketbook series and a Hugo and Nebula award winner. Crossfire, The Fifth Element, Hello, Numbers Don't Lie, and Star Wars are among his works. He currently resides in San Francisco.
