Prepare to travel to the Tomorrow that never was.

From the author who believes the future should always be furnished with chrome and powered by a harmless atomic reaction comes Science Fiction Like It's 1950, a pitch-perfect collection of stories that channels the thrilling, paranoid, and often hilarious spirit of mid-century speculative fiction.
In this volume, you will discover a universe populated by, among others:
- The Computing Ladies of Station Kepler-7, who uncover a secret military blockade around an invisible celestial object-proving that women know best, especially when armed with differential analyzers and impeccable logic.
- A ham radio operator in Kansas, who receives an impossible signal from a beautiful scientist who claims to be calling from a time-fractured 1987.
- The desperate survivors of the post-apocalyptic era, who cling to the last functioning TV signal that broadcasts a single, perfect episode of Father Knows Best.
- The Venusians, gelatinous businessmen who build perfect American and Soviet suburbs to scare off humanity and secure their planet for peace and quiet.
- A philosophical Angel Food Cake that achieves atomic-enhanced consciousness, leading a culinary revolution and demanding its right to vote.
- A civil servant tasked with preventing the invention of time travel, only to find himself trapped in an endless cycle of bureaucratic hearings across centuries.
- Finally, follow physicist Leo Maxwell in the 13,000-word novelette The Granular World, as he discovers that his entire existence might be nothing more than a high-resolution lie woven by inscrutable alien architects
