Synopsis

The incredible technological advances in the past several decades are truly astonishing. Inventive geniuses have challenged time, space, and life itself. What was once considered a Buck Rogers fantasy is now almost commonplace. Just as the future is looming nearer and nearer, the past is receding farther and farther away.However, some things remain ever fixed. Communication, linking the past with the present and the future, is the surest guide in the study of human activity.Temporary Assignments, B.C., contains Emily McCormack's twenty-six short stories about the business world of the recent past. The book contains tales of murder, hypocrisy, loss, hatred, suffering, and misunderstanding. But these human sins and failings are counterbalanced by stories of joy, understanding, hope, reformation, peace, and love.McCormack ends her book with the question, 'Isn't life itself a temporary assignment?'*before computer
