description: Before the success of her debut SF-and-fantasy novel All the Birds in the Sky Charlie Jane Anders was a rising star in SF and fantasy short fiction. Collected in a mini-book format here--for the first time in print--are six of her quirky wry engaging best:In -The Fermi Paradox Is Our Business Model - aliens reveal the terrible truth about how humans were created--and why we'll never discover aliens.-As Good as New- is a brilliant twist on the tale of three wishes set after the end of the world. -Intestate- is about a family reunion in which some attendees aren't quite human anymore--but they're still family.-The Cartography of Sudden Death- demonstrates that when you try to solve a problem with time travel you now have two problems.-Six Months Three Days- is the story of the love affair between a man who can see the one true foreordained future and a woman who can see all the possible futures. They're both right and the story won the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Novelette.And -Clover - exclusively written for this collection is a coda to All the Birds in the Sky answering the burning question of what happened to Patricia's cat.
