Do you have what it takes to become a reporter for the Alternate Reality News Service? Curiosity? Courage? Your own notepad? Can you imagine yourself writing about worlds where: • the best way to cure cancer may be to negotiate with it; • there is a project to collect, rebuild and reanimate the atoms that made up Albert Einstein’s body (so far, they have most of his ankle!); • China avoids a war with the United States (without firing a shot) by repossessing the American military in payment of the country’s debt; • a woman sues General Motors for palimony, claiming that the corporation, legally a person, was the father of her child? If not, read What Were Once Miracles Are Now Children’s Toys. If so, welcome to the Alternate Reality News Service. Spelling and grammatical correctitude optional.
