Bellwether

Wow! I couldn't put this one down. Smart, intelligent, sharp, with biting humor that is so right on the money every time that you want to tell someone how good it is, but you just can't explain it. Don't miss this one.

My book group had read this book before I joined and a few had thought it was a little weird. The author has won more Hugo and Nebula awards than any other science fiction author. I'm not much of a science fiction fan but .... I loved this book! I hope you enjoy it too.

Connie Willis is a Hugo and Nebula Award winning author. She was won more awards than any other science fiction author. Now, with all the wit and inventiveness that have made her one of the most beloved writers in the field, she explores the intimate relationship between science, pop culture, and the arcane secrets of the heart.
In other words, a scientific, cyber-punkish future that demonstrates the chaos theory in group behavior. All that wordiness aside, it's a good, solid read.
