Steven Gould is best known for his YA (Jumper) books, but all his books for grown ups are wonderful. This is my favorite. It takes place in a future world, but the S-F is light, just a plot gimmick. The polar ice has melted, all of the Gulf Coast is under water, but life goes on and two people meet, share an adventure, and quote Shakespeare to each other. A beautifully written, witty book. I plan to give this book to friends for holiday gifts. If you worry that it might be dark and depressing - robots taking over the world, it's not like that at all! His other books stress science/engineering & I like that. He also writes about martial arts in two books. But this book is just fun to read.
