**Includes the bonus short story *A FLAW IN THE DIVINE ***
Two stories about the promise - and the perils - of technology.
THE LAST ZOOKEEPER: When the aged caretaker of the world's last animal menagerie passes away, a boy seeks to understand his terrible sense of loss.
This is a 2600-word (~10-page) short story about extinction, annihilation, and the possibility of a future in which technology, not Man, is the apex predator.
A FLAW IN THE DIVINE: After inventing an artificially intelligent machine capable of self-awareness, a man tries to save humanity from destroying itself, only to find that he has lost control of his own creation.
This is a 3600-word (~14-page) short story with metaphysical and existential themes.
Both stories are suitable for all ages.
