Science fiction icon Connie Willis brilliantly mixes a speculative plot, the wit of Nora Ephron, and the comedic flair of P. G. Wodehouse in Crosstalk--a genre-bending novel that pushes social media, smartphone technology, and twenty-four-hour availability to hilarious and chilling extremes as one young woman abruptly finds herself with way more connectivity than she ever desired.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR

In the not-too-distant future, a simple outpatient procedure to increase empathy between romantic partners has become all the rage. And Briddey Flannigan is delighted when her boyfriend, Trent, suggests undergoing the operation prior to a marriage proposal--to enjoy better emotional connection and a perfect relationship with complete communication and understanding. But things don't quite work out as planned, and Briddey finds herself connected to someone else entirely--in a way far beyond what she signed up for.

It is almost more than she can handle--especially when the stress of managing her all-too-eager-to-communicate-at-all-times family is already burdening her brain. But that's only the beginning. As things go from bad to worse, she begins to see the dark side of too much information, and to realize that love--and communication--are far more complicated than she ever imagined.

Praise for Crosstalk

"A rollicking send-up of obsessive cell phone usage in too-near-future America . . . Connie] Willis's canny incorporation of scientific lore, and a riotous cast . . . make for an engaging girl-finally-finds-right-boy story that's unveiled with tact and humor. Willis juxtaposes glimpses of claimed historical telepaths with important reflections about the ubiquity of cell phones and the menace that unscrupulous developers of technology pose to privacy, morality, and emotional stability."--Publishers Weekly

"An exhilarating and laugh-inducing read . . . one of those rare books that will keep you up all night long because you can't bear to put it down."--Portland Book Review

"A fun technological fairy tale."--BookPage

"One of the funniest SF novels in years."--Locus

Chik'n Chips are our dog's favorite snack! Beau is absolutely crazy about them. If you really want him to do something, just tell him to "Sit" and give him a Chik'n Chip. Or show him one and ask him "What do you do?".

The dogs love it!
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
They look like slices of hot dogs, and they're a bit hit with my pups. Even my picky eater loves them! They're large enough to be satisfying and small enough that overfeeding the dogs is not an issue.

My dogs absolutely love this treat.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have very picky dogs so I usually would start off with something small to give to my dogs. Sort of like a taste test. Case in point, I bought a small bag to test. Surprisingly, both of my dogs love this treat so I continued to purchase this item. These chips are pretty expensive so I try to buy them once a month on a subscription. Sometimes I end up buying more within the month because my dogs gobble these up like its their last meal. But again, these chips are pretty expensive but my dogs really love them.
