MyriadBooks For Gaiman's short story, "Changes."
Member Reviews
An odd mix of 50's and 80's style sci-fi, with a dated background, and the occasional "sex sells right?" moment. The basic premise is interesting, (I won't give it away here) but almost wasn't enough to save the book. Barely a three.
This novel is hardly futuristic since it is set in the 1990's or maybe early 2000's. But it is science fiction (I think) because it tells the story of the Mark Twos a new kind of human with a survival adaptation that makes them immune to AIDS.
