This book has three short stories in it.

Evolution--Bacteria have built up a resistance to all of our antibiotics. How do we fight them now? How do people react?

Fault Lines--How do we form connections with people? What if there were a drug that made real connections between people a hundred times faster than we do on our own?

The Mountain to Mohammed--The human genome is more fully understood and insurance companies can legally deny insurance based on predispositions to diseases. Companies can hire people based on their genetic health. What happens when a lower class is created of people that don't have access to medical care?
