- Summary
- "Dogs of Truth contains seventeen new or previously uncollected short stories. Included are "High Rise High," the story of a student revolt at the ultimate "secure" high school; "Focus Group," where a starstruck fan dictates the fate of soap-opera characters through a biochip implant; "Escape from Shark Island," which looks at an extreme version of today's trendy "family bed"; and "Precautions," where germ phobia reigns supreme." "New stories tell of the "Grand Opening" of the world's largest megamall, study the relationship of a writer and his muse in "Getting It Back," and, in "The Shop of Little Horrors," take a dark look at the childfree lifestyle."--BOOK JACKET.
