What to expect
Quantum physics, prime numbers, Irish mythology, medical ethics, robotics and the rise of AI, geopolitics and alternative history: these are among the subjects that provide the basis for stories in this collection – stories distinguished by a lightness of touch and stylistic confidence. They vary in tone from the quirky, whimsical and surreal to the profound and insightful; and, what's more, together they display the good doctor's command of the exacting short story form.
As The Docameron 's tales twist and turn, engage and enlighten, they also entertain and – above all – reward repeated reading.
