In a world where the slightest edge can mean the difference
between success and failure, Leisha Camden is beautiful,
extraordinarily intelligent ... and one of an ever-growing number
of human beings who have been genetically modified to never require
sleep.
Once considered interesting anomalies, now Leisha and the other
"Sleepless" are outcasts -- victims of blind hatred, political
repression, and shocking mob violence meant to drive them from
human society ... and, ultimately, from Earth itself.
But Leisha Camden has chosen to remain behind in a world that
envies and fears her "gift" -- a world marked for destruction in a
devastating conspiracy of freedom ... and revenge.
Two stories about artificial intelligence from one of the most

Nancy Kress is famous for creating realistic near-future societies
based on technological advances and then studying the impact those
technological changes have on our society. Here is a collection of
three outstanding stories that deal with innovations in medical
science and how they affect our lives.
Nancy Kress is unrivaled in her treatment of genetic engineering.
In 1991 she wrote the ground-breaking classic novella Beggars in
Spain (Hugo/Nebula) and since then has only enhanced her
outstanding reputation of telling stories set in the near-future
and dealing with genetics. *** This collection brings together six
of these stories written between 1984 and 2008, including "The
Flowers of Aulit Prison" which won the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial
Award for best short story.
"One of the best of the year...a compelling novella about a
once-famous actress and her devoted manager who get much more
publicity of an unfortunate sort when they inadvertently become
embroiled with an act of biological terrorism with potentially
world-changing results."-Gardner Dozois, Locus ****
