Piers admits in his Author's Note at the end that he wrote the book as a guide for the developers of the software. A collection of short stories and novellas by the author. This intriguing, provocative novella is set in a post world war society which uses touch and feel to communicate. An interesting premise, very realistic and highly possible. The deaf blind society exists today only they do not communicate so freely without restrictions.
Sex is also communication, with very few restrictions.
The sighted hearing people follow the rules the deaf blind people set or are sent packing. This story brings a new meaning to sign language and tactile sign language. You don't feel that the people are disabled, but rather that the outsiders are. For insight into other stories in the collection, see amazon reviews. A Wrinkle in Time L'Engle writes a deep, entertaining story about time travel that focuses on the adolescent characters.
