In this collection from Martin L. Shoemaker, the award-winning author of Today I Am Carey, you'll find stories on the line where human meets machine...* A therapist uses an immersive game to treat a troubled boy.* An injured soldier must convince his battle suit that he wants to live.* An emulated personality wars against a corrupted version of itself.* A programmer cannot escape the program that loves him.* A coffee maker faces the emptiness of existence.* A dying man records his memories for the future.
