No way back! Technology has changed communications forever. Love notes are no longer written on scented paper. Battles are fought in cyberspace. Government and corporate intelligence are hacked for public consumption. Technology has rewritten all the rules and radically changed the way we look at the world and at ourselves. Whether we like it or not, we speak a different language today, as techno-speak creeps into public and private exchanges. The stories in Only Connect, from India and Australia, reflect on this deep impact of technology on our lives, our relationships, and our ways of seeing things and each other. Every story has a fresh approach; each story probes the way in which digital technology has altered our world for better or worse.
