There are two parts to this book: one of 13 short-short stories and one of 12 book commentaries. The stories are quick reads and leave some room for the reader to make their own imprint. If the essays have anything in common, it’s the distrust of entrenched power.

It follows some of the themes explored in my last three books: The End of the Human Era, eclipsed, and Artifacts of a Troubled and Troublesome Species.
