About the Book

All the stories look at the interplay between modern technology and human relationships. Each story deals with a different aspect of technology and has an appropriate setting for the way the material plays out. Dennis the Duck who looked like a Boy poses animal and pet problems with the practice of plastic surgery. Extra Extra deals with the fine line between living and acting. Diva Diva presents the impact of recordings on an artist, and Hello Hello shows the impact of cell phones on deafness, and so on with each of the stories: Mirror Mirror is laid in the world of cosmetics, and Water Water in the industry of water and dowsing. The final story, What You Don't See, tries to look at the relationship between life and porn cinema.
