Rutan notes that the risk of dying on early planes was one in 6,000. Today, it's one in several million. He's not going to fly until he's sure today's spaceships are as safe as early planes, he says.

Deng’s story begins in Atlanta, where he innocently opens a door to a female stranger who promptly begins a dramatic robbery. Eggers weaves scenes from Africa into Deng’s account of the ongoing robbery with almost cinematic deftness. These first scenes also give the story a very human tension, making subtle (and not-so-subtle) comparisons, through Deng?...
