    <about><![CDATA[I work in technology (specifically, at the touch point between user interfaces and cars), so it's sort of obvious that I'd be into sci-fi/fantasy (and non-fiction related to general science and computers/society/design).

My favorite story from the collection is &quot;Snow, Glass, Apples&quot;, a retelling of Snow White from the point of view of the stepmother.
