Just Like Being There is the first collection of science fiction
stories by award-winning author and aerospace engineer Eric Choi
spanning his 25 year writing career. The stories are "hard" science
fiction in which some element of engineering or science is so
central there would be no story if that element were removed. Story
topics include space exploration, artificial intelligence, virtual
reality, cryptography, quantum computing, online privacy,
mathematics (statistics), neuroscience, psychology, space medicine,
extra-terrestrial intelligence, undersea exploration, commercial
aviation, and the history of science. A special feature of the book
is that each story is followed by an "Afterword" that explains the
underlying engineering or science. This collection will entertain
and inform all aficionados of science and science fiction.
