About this audiobook
John Chu's Hugo Award-winning short story, "The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere", is now available for listeners
In the near future water falls from the sky whenever someone lies (either a mist or a torrential flood depending on the intensity of the lie). This makes life difficult for Matt as he maneuvers the marriage question with his lover and how best to "come out" to his traditional Chinese parents.
