some consider him science fiction, although he reads like a novel -- very well researched and carefully constructed realism, with just one twist of something extra -- a one proposed "what-if" per story. the result is an alternate reality that is so familiar one can't help but make it their own.
my favorites, so far: "The Story of Your Life", "72 Letters", "Understand", and "The Tower of Babylon".
