Chapter Forty-Six: Bellwether

Bellwether by Connie Willis is one of my all-time favorite novels!  I love it every time I read it: the fun characters, the ridiculous workplace, the little tidbits of history about various fads--all these elements combine to make an engaging story about two researchers at an absurd corporation who combine projects with fantastic results.  It's not quite science-fiction from an author most known for that genre, but it is fun fiction about scientists!  I heartily recommend this heartwarming story to anyone who wants to restore their faith in humanity and in life in general.
