A government injects its people with a drug that makes them see everyone else as members of their own race and gender. A factory worker develops an unlikely friendship with the artificially intelligent sex doll she is tasked with training. God decides that humanity is a lost cause and gives each person 24 hours to decide in which animal form they will spend the rest of their days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, characters are confronted with supernatural and otherworldly interventions, as well as the earthly, human concerns that shape our daily lives: capitalism and race, intimacy, memory, and mortality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlayful and tender, dark and witty, each of these stories is infused with a profound sense of compassion.
