Amorous space squids. Sentient fridges. A derelict alien spacecraft adrift within an interstellar cloud. Speed-dating zombies. The truth behind the extinction of the dinosaurs. A potentially lethal interasteroidal freight consignment. And a planet on which biological diversification has utterly failed to take hold in eight billion years.
80, 000 Totally Secure Passwords That No Hacker Would Ever Guess is a collection of SF short fiction, sometimes humorous and sometimes deadly serious, by NZ-born Australian writer Simon Petrie.
