Science Fiction has to accomplish a nearly impossible magic trick: to introduce a world often much stranger than our own and make you care about it in a matter of a few paragraphs, wrote Ray Bradbury. The most important part of this magic trick is just a willingness to get weird.

The stories in this collection are brimming with bizarre and otherworldly premises: A vending machine does more than dispense sodas, becoming a therapist influencing people's lives; a father must kill to have his triplets be born; coping with the results of faster-than-light space travel that proves deadly in unimaginable ways. These stories and seven more are grounded deeply in our reality while seemingly too bizarre actually to happen.

With tales of alien invasion, deep space mysteries, and dystopian future Earths, this collection takes inspiration from the much respected old masters of Science Fiction, of which Ray Bradbury is a prominent member. Out of these stories' weirdness emerges stunning, immersive, intensely felt experiences, showing us less of what the world is and more of what it could be.
