About this product

Product Information

Connie Willis has won more Hugo and Nebula awards than any other science fiction author. Now, with her trademark wit and inventiveness, she explores the intimate relationship between science, pop culture, and the arcane secrets of the heart. Sandra Foster studies fads--from Barbie dolls to the grunge look--how they start and what they mean. Bennett O'Reilly is a chaos theorist studying monkey group behavior. They both work for the HiTek corporation, strangers until a misdelivered package brings them together. It's a moment of synchronicity--if not serendipity--which leads them into a chaotic system of their own, complete with a million-dollar research grant, caffé latte, tattoos, and a series of unlucky coincidences that leaves Bennett monkeyless, fundless, and nearly jobless. Sandra intercedes with a flock of sheep and an idea for a joint project. (After all, what better animal to study both chaos theory and the herd mentality that so often characterizes human behavior?) But scientific discovery is rarely straightforward and never simple, and Sandra and Bennett have to endure a series of setbacks, heartbreaks, dead ends, and disasters before they find their ultimate answer. . . . Praise for Bellwether "One of science fiction's best writers." -- The Denver Post "Connie Willis deploys the apparatus of science fiction to illuminate character and relationships, and her writing is fresh, subtle, and deeply moving." -- The New York Times Book Review "Keen social satire touched with genuine humanity . . . Connie Willis's fiction is one of the most intelligent delights of our genre." -- Locus "A sheer pleasure to read . . . Sprightly, intelligent fun." -- Publishers Weekly

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • # one book of 2006 (out of70, 65 fiction)

    I have read more than 50 books of fiction per year, every year, for thirty years, except the six I was in a Trappist monastery...mainly murder mysteries and science fiction. So to be at the top of my list does have some comparative qualities. What makes this book a hit, though, is that one non-fiction reader in my family has read it three times. Besides being a STORY, this book is about fashion and frustration. It is by far the most approachable of her books. So if, like me, you struggled to the end of "To Say Nothing of the Dog"( a book about English Lit., but also a story, this one is much more fun. This book has some romance, but no sex...perfectly acceptable for the bright pre-teen.
