Ten speculative short stories by leading young-adult authors imagine what the world \u003ci\u003ecould\u003c\/i\u003e be through the lens of technologies emerging today.

In tales buzzing with possibility, hope, innovation, anger, and tenderness, \u003ci\u003eTasting Light\u003c\/i\u003e offers a dazzling challenge to connect with open minds, hearts, and senses in a fast-changing world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith stories by: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliam Alexander\u003cbr\u003eK.
