Crosstalk

"Connie Willis’ books are intentionally and enjoyably exasperating, as characters struggle through screwball situations and endless obfuscations in search of the one bit of information they actually need. Crosstalk is no different, as a young woman deals with sudden, unwanted telepathy and the endless complications it brings to her job and her love life. Part romantic comedy, part exploration of why psychic ability is the worst superpower, and part metaphor for an oversharing society that’s perpetually awash in a flood of distracting data from mobile devices, Crosstalk is a comedy about the importance of privacy and the pleasure of unplugging."
