Case is living a hard and fast life. He runs drugs, arms and any other illegal thing. He doesn't care if he gets caught and doesn't care if he dies. He doesn't care about much. Then one day he comes home to find a leather-clad, gun-wielding girl with knives under her nails and glasses permanently attached to her eyes sitting in his house. Her boss has a mission for him, and she is here to make sure he can't refuse.

Then he double-crossed the wrong people, who caught up with him in a big way--and burned the talent out of his brain, micron by micron. Banished from cyberspace, trapped in the meat of his physical body, Case courted death in the high-tech underworld. Until a...

Truth is a prized value in our society. It is the standard by which we judge our public figures, our politicians, and even our closest friends. If truth is the ideal of communication, then denial is its opposite, for denial is the deliberate suppression of any communication between people. Jane Smiley, in her novellas "Ordinary Love" and "Good Will", explores both of these extremes on the spectrum of communication. While there are differences in her depiction of these ideas in both novellas, this...
