(After all, what better animal to study both chaos theory and the herd mentality that so often characterizes human behavior?) But scientific discovery is rarely straightforward and never simple, and Sandra and Bennett have to endure a series of setbacks, heartbreaks, dead ends, and disasters before they find their ultimate answer. Bellwether, Connie Willis, Bantam Spectra, 1996, ISBN 9780553375626, 247pp. Sandra intercedes with a flock of sheep and an idea for a joint project. She’s won the Nebula Award seven times and been nominated another eight times. She’s won the Hugo Award at least ten times and been nominated another thirteen times. It's a moment of synchronicity-if not serendipity-which leads them into a chaotic system of their own, complete with a million-dollar research grant, caffé latte, tattoos, and a series of unlucky coincidences that leaves Bennett monkeyless, fundless, and nearly jobless. Constance Elaine Trimmer Willis, known as Connie Willis, is the most award-winning science fiction author of all time. They both work for the HiTek corporation, strangers until a misdelivered package brings them together.

Bennett O'Reilly is a chaos theorist studying monkey group behavior. Sandra Foster studies fads-from Barbie dolls to the grunge look-how they start and what they mean. Now, with her trademark wit and inventiveness, she explores the intimate relationship between science, pop culture, and the arcane secrets of the heart. Connie Willis has won more Hugo and Nebula awards than any other science fiction author.
