Sixty-five stories where the premise outranks the meet-cute: a game, a dating app, a signal across the galaxy, each hiding something bigger than romance. A QA tester yanked through the screen into the villain's own game, a match who owns a working time machine, another freshly home from space and closemouthed about what happened up there, alien queens intercepting a ufologist's joke transmission, a manuscript surviving seven centuries past the oligarchy it names.
