Resumen del libro

In these stories, T. C. Boyle focuses hisunerring eye on humanity's relationship with nature, and the unintended consequences of our efforts to control it. The prize-winning Are We Not Men?' reflects on the impact of new gene-editing technologies while The Relive Box' parodies our obsession with electronic games. In She's the Bomb', a young woman waits on her graduation day, heart in mouth, for an explosive event.

A burrito-seller has a killer business idea in The Five-Pound Burrito', but learns that success comes at a price. An Italian couple moves south for a fresh start in The Argentine Ant', but finds that paradise holds a nasty sting. And in the chilling The Designee', a lonely widower can't believe his luck when he receives a mysterious letter from England.

In electric prose T. C. Boyle explores myriad facets of society: greed and excess, parenthood and responsibility, the digital world and the way we understand our mortality.
