About the author
Pat Cadigan
263 books437 followersPat Cadigan is an American-born science fiction author, who broke through as a major writer as part of the cyberpunk movement. Her early novels and stories all shared a common theme, exploring the relationship between the human mind and technology.
Her first novel, Mindplayers, introduced what became a common theme to all her works. Her stories blurred the line between reality and perception by making the human mind a real and explorable place. Her second novel, Synners, expanded upon the same theme, and featured a future where direct access to the mind via technology was in fact possible.
She has won a number of awards, including the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award twice,in 1992, and 1995 for her novels Synners and Fools.
She currently lives in London, England with her family.

Some of this collection is dated, particularly the one about Russia and the alternative history stuff, but the ones that aren't are killer.

Alternately titled "Fifty Ways To Improve Your Orgasm". And not even remotely what one would expect of this title. This is science fiction. Besides, it simply *WOULD* *NOT* *DO* for a southern boy to be reading about things like orgasms. (Southern girls either, for that matter. Besides, southern girls don't even have them. Or at least they're not supposed to).
But where was I. Ah, yes. This story had nothing to do with anything associated with that nasty little word. If you want to know what the story's about, read it yourself. I don't offer plot summaries. That's what wikipedia's for.
