A collection of ten short stories : Justice ; This Night ; Brain ; Appeal ; Proof ; P. N. 40 ; Automata ; The Rat ; Rule ; Choice. "The first seven are grouped together as glimpses of the future where the 'new gods' of twentieth-century man will take him. The best of these stories constitute what is perhaps the most vitriolic vision of the future ever produced ; they have an imaginative savagery of tone and content that is quite unparalleled. All of Wright's anxieties and preoccupations regarding the march of progress are here subjected to bitterly sarcastic extrapolation. All of the stories were fantastic, all of them save for one allegory belonging to the genre of 'scientific romance' whose principal exemplars were to be found among the early works of H. G. Wells," (Brian Stableford).
