About This Book

A series of satirical speculative short stories that pair whimsical inventions with social satire. The opening tale follows two amateur inventors who build a device that makes holes by displacing matter into a fourth dimension and see their discovery appropriated by a powerful construction concern; other pieces lampoon technocratic ambition, petty bureaucracy, and human foibles through absurd gadgets and brisk comic scenarios.
