Fowler"s new collection, This Time, While We"re Awake, welcomes you to the worlds of egregious dystopias-environments where tornadoes come one after another as neighbors spar, drugged breeders make babies in the near-future for the sterile rich, and humans are sacrificed by contract to aliens who protect them. In this collection, Fowler examines what it means to be fair and humane in the surreal landscapes where the ruling factions are neither of these things. Come and get your Practice Baby, if you"d like to try parenting. Take an injection to experience love without a partner. This collection showcases not only Fowler"s trademark heart and humor, but also a darker dimension of commentary similar to Bradbury or The Twilight Zone. Selected stories in this volume have been published internationally and online.
