Synopsis
THE REALITY MACHINE includes 15 short stories that display an astonishing range of themes and ideas--these are tales that dazzle and terrify, thrill and unease. Imagine yourself in a world where goblins exist but the real monsters are far more human in appearance. Or a place where a crook with a face only a true midnight movie maven could love charms and terrorizes Tinseltown. How about a tale where the end of the world finally happens...but everyone sleeps right through it.
This volume also features "New World Man", a story selected by German editor Jonathan Gates for inclusion in an anthology of the 20 BEST SCIENCE FICTION STORIES OF ALL TIME.
Cliff Burns' fictions are disorienting, trippy, possibly even mind-altering; they are psychedelic tonics for a troubled time, acid tests for the coming age.
