These confusing times of Internet trolls, one-percenters, toxic fame, and impending singularity cry out for clarity - the clarity found in Aesop's 2,500 year old fables. 70 writers from across the creative spectrum bring their modern sensibilities to this classic format. Parables ranging from the punchy to the evocative, the wry to the disturbing, explore eternal human foibles, as displaced onto lemmings, trout, and racing cars. But beware - in these terse explorations of desire, envy, and power, certitude isn't always as clear as it looks.
