"One thing we can be fairly sure of: if we don’t blow up the world or
strangle in our own excreta, the future will be more complex and strange
than we suppose, maybe more strange than we can even imagine. R. A.
Lafferty—a man possessed of one of the most daring, flexible and
incisive imaginations in the world—here blips us through a slow Tuesday
night with the speed of a computer data transfer. Read it and laugh,
because it is very funny, and at the moment it is satire. If you’re
still around forty years from now, do the existing societal equivalent
of reading it again, and you may find yourself laughing out of the other
side of your mouth (remember mouths?). It will probably be much too
conservative."
