Over the Moon at the Big Lizard Diner
by Lisa Wingate"We saw it all," said Loveland resident Alva Blum. "That dog led them on a chase all through the pasture, and when he stopped, he stopped right under the Lover's Oak. When we drove down to check on things, there was Zach Truitt and this lady from the FBI together under the oak, wrapped around each other like lizards on a beanpole." According to Mrs. Blum, local residents knew immediately that true love was in the works. None of this surprises the dog's owner, who, it turns out, is Mrs. Jada Bell of Lometa. According to Mrs. Bell, the dog, whose name is actually Noel, takes a notion every once in a while to leave the sheep and the other sheepdogs and go on a mission. "It's my fault, I suppose," said Mrs. Bell. "Those dogs aren't supposed to be pets, but that one was born Christmas day out in the field the 'week after my husband, Floyd, died. Noel was the only one in his litter that survived, and I was so lonesome, I brought him inside to raise. He comforted me through a hard time, and I just figure that every once in a while, he gets a hankering to do that same thing for someone else. He comes and goes as he needs to, and that's fine with me."

Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present
by Cory Doctorow"Cory Doctorow straps on his miner's helmet and takes you deep into the caverns and underground rivers of pop culture, here filtered through SF-colored glasses. Enjoy."--Neil Gaiman New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow has been hailed as one of the freshest voices in science fiction, and this collection of intriguing novellas is yet another reason why. Have you ever wondered what it's like to live through a bioweapon attack or to have every aspect of your life governed by invisible ants? In Cory Doctorow's collection of novellas, he wields his formidable experience in technology and computing to give us mind-bending sci-fi tales that explore the possibilities of information technology--and its various uses--run amok. "Anda's Game" is a spin on the bizarre new phenomenon of "cyber sweatshops," in which people are paid very low wages to play online games all day in order to generate in-game wealth, which can be converted into actual money. Another tale tells of the heroic exploits of "sysadmins"--systems administrators--as they defend the cyberworld, and hence the world at large, from worms and bioweapons. And yes, there's a story about zombies, too. "He sparkles! He fizzes! He does backflips and breaks the furniture! Science fiction needs Cory Doctorow." --Bruce Sterling, award-winning author of Schismatrix Plus and The Difference Engine
