SUMMARY:SPEED OF DARK - Elizabeth Moon
DESCRIPTION:Corporate life in early 21st-century America is even more ruthl
 ess than it was at the turn of the millennium. Lou Arrendale\, well compen
 sated for his remarkable pattern-recognition skills\, enjoys his job and e
 xpects never to lose it. But he has a new boss\, a man who thinks Lou and 
 the others in his building are a liability. Lou and his coworkers are auti
 stic. And the new boss is going to fire Lou and all his coworkers--unless 
 they agree to undergo an experimental new procedure to "cure" them.\n\nIn 
 The Speed of Dark\, Elizabeth Moon has created a powerful\, complex\, and 
 believable portrayal of a man who varies radically from what is defined as
  "normal." The author insightfully explores the nature of "normality\," id
 entity\, choice\, responsibility\, free will\, illness and health\, and go
 od and evil. The Speed of Dark is a powerful\, moving\, illuminating novel
  in the tradition of Flowers for Algernon\, Forrest Gump\, and Rain Man.\n
