GEORGE ALEC EFFINGER

Schrödinger’s Kitten

Every moment of every day a thousand possible futures die unborn around us, a thousand corners not turned, a thousand roads not taken. Sometimes the uncertainty of it all may get to us—but sometimes that very uncertainty may prove to be the finest thing of all.…

Perhaps the hot young writer of the ’70s (he became a full-time writer in 1971), George Alec Effinger has subsequently maintained a reputation as one of the most creative innovators in SF, and one of the genre’s finest short-story writers. His short work has appeared everywhere, from Playboy to Haunt of Horror. His first novel, What Entropy Means to Me (recently re-released), is considered a cult classic in some circles, and his most recent, and most popular, novel, the gritty and fascinating When Gravity Fails, was a prime contender for a 1987 Hugo Award. His many other books include the novels The Wolves of Memory, The Bird of Time, Those Gentle Voices, and Utopia 3, and the collections Mixed Feelings, Irrational Numbers, and Idle Pleasures. Upcoming is A Fire in the Sun, another book set in the evocative milieu of When Gravity Fails—as is “Schrödinger’s Kitten.”
