It’s never a good idea for sociologists to fall in love with someone they’re studying–especially if they’re alien sociologists.
Node AR1x40 lives his life on Earth as human Javier Flores, observing and reporting on human behavior as part of The Commonality’s sociological study. When he meets Theo Zedek, a pastry chef and owner of the La Chanson Cafe, Node AR1x40 violates the main parameter of the experiment—he falls in love. And their love may ruin far more than his career.
Told as a scientific research paper, La Chanson de l’Observation was first published in Issue 8 of A cappella Zoo and was chosen by guest editor Gina Ochsner for Issue 10, The Best of A cappella Zoo: A Five-Year Retrospective.
