Audie Award, Science Fiction and Fantasy, 2010

Pop culture, chaos theory, and matters of the heart collide in this unique novella from the Hugo and Nebula Award - winning author of Doomsday Book.

Sandra Foster studies fads and their meanings for the HiTek corporation. Bennett O'Reilly works with monkey group behavior and chaos theory for the same company. When the two are thrust together due to a misdelivered package and a run of seemingly bad luck, they find a joint project in a flock of sheep. But a series of setbacks and disappointments arise before they are able to find answers to their questions - with the unintended help of the errant, forgetful, and careless office assistant Flip.

Chain it to your bookshelf, as if you lend it you won't get it back.

This is an all time favourite book. Re-read MANY times. I even set it as prerequisite reading for one of my post grad classes on organisational change. It is funny, it is appallingly organisationally accurate, and it can be read for layers of meaning. For a quite short, simple, and what could be read as a frivolous book (about a centimetre thick) it is incredibly dense with possibilities and information. It could be read as a romance, or as a seriously funny slapstick book about organisational life, or as satire on organisational politics, or a brief introduction to applied chaos theory, or even just a series of fascinating tidbits and sub stories about trends, fads, fashion, leadership and follower-ship. I cannot recommend this book enough. Once again a book that I buy multiple copies of, as I love recommending it but never expect to get it back when I loan it out.

Sheep rule!

One of the quirkiest rom com stories ever
The 'trend' trivia at the start of each chapter is a hoot. And the social commentary is spot on
Borrow as many of your fave books from the library as you can!

An interesting and informative read.

I always enjoy Connie Willis' writing, but didn't find this to be as brilliant as "To Say Nothing of the Dog" or "Doomsday Book". The characters seemed less convincing than in her other books, and the research setting failed to convince me of its authenticity. Also,I guessed the ending well before I got to it.
Nevertheless, the subject matter is thought-provoking, and as I had never heard of the term "Bellwether" before, I did learn something that can be applied to life. Anyone in a managerial or teaching position might find these ideas very useful indeed.

I always enjoy Connie Willis books, and this one didn't disappoint. As usual she mixes science with fiction, an throws in a lot of good humour.

Rather tedious.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2019

Verified Purchase

The best parts are the ones not meant to be funny, and those are also tedious.
Also, horrible OCR on Kindle version.

The book arrived on time and the condition was as described - Connie Willis is a brilliant author and this is one of her best.
