And in the title story, a father tries to protect his son, teaching him how to navigate a racist world that does not understand him and sees him as a threat.The World Wasn't Ready for You is a gripping, provocative, and distinctly original collection that demonstrates Key's remarkable literary giftsa skill at crafting science fiction stories equaled by an ability to sculpt characters and narrativeas well as his utterly fresh take on how genre can be used to delight, awe, frighten, and ultimately challenge our perceptions.
