"The ambiguous nature of light and matter is the epicenter of Pippa Goldschmidt's delightfully quirky new collection. Zigzagging across a century of history, from the first world war to the devastated Anthropocene Earth, these stories subvert the glamorous masculine mythos and hubris of twentieth century physics and twenty-first century Mars exploration. Playfully innovative in structure and voice, they are also a lot of fun to read." Susan M. Gaines, author of Accidentals and Carbon Dreams "In her laboratory of words, Pippa Goldschmidt mixes science with stories to create fictions inspired by people and creatures both real and imagined. From the Mars rover to lab mice and the fickle nature of love—and with a particular interest in often brilliant women pushed to the margins and denied a voice—Goldschmidt invites us to expand our minds from what we thought was possible in order to see our world in new ways." Tania Hershman, author of Still Life With Octopus and Some of Us Glow More Than Others
