"A mermaid delves into the dark underpinnings of her Utopian society; a dying boy finds himself trapped in a virtual world beyond his wildest imagining; Friedrich Nietzsche meets Wyatt Earp on the dusty streets of Tombstone, Arizona; a gorilla strives to remain relevant among the info-streams and easily distracted eyeballs of a shallow, media-addled culture; a civilization raises its young as computer programs, deleting problematic children at will..."--Dust cover flap.

Special notice should be paid to Pinocchio, which reflects so clearly the consequences of our "instant feedback," 24-hours of "on" social media frenzy that it might be considered more mockumentary story than fiction.
Inventive and stylish, Williams' short works remind me just a little bit of Roger Zelazny's short stories - crisp and clean (often jewel-like) without sacrificing his characters on the altar of brevity.
Since it's a must-read piece of short science fiction, I give it five genetically engineered thumbs up.
