"Minority Report"
This series of short stories captivated me. All of them were thought provoking and yet not too "heavy". The type of stories the old series "Twilight zone" were - always favorites of mine. After seeing the movie "Minority Report" it was especially interesting to listen to the original.
"Flu"
I thought the book was quite interesting. It developed the 1918 flu and others in a way that tied the human events with the history of the times and the science of the flu. A good explanation to help people understand the Bird Flu currently in the news.
