<br/><br/> What happens when a robot can not only think but can also read the thoughts of its masters? What happens when a country is divided by war among its own people? What does a successful businessman do when he discovers his family mean nothing to him? How do a pair of shoes help solve a mystery murder case? These are some of the questions dealt with in the seven stories in this collection. The stories, by important modern authors, have been specially edited for upper-intermediate and more advanced students of English. Vocabulary explanations and notes are provided in order to help comprehension.
