From the back cover of the first DAW printing: "Sheckley! - In this, his latest collection of short stories, Robert Sheckley offers sixteen bizarre glimpses into the future - sixteen tales to delight, amaze and intrigue those who know as well as those not yet familiar with his work. Witty and thought-provoking, each is centered around the foibles, eccentricities and desires of some very ordinary people, people like your neighbors, your friends, perhaps even like yourself. The difference? The time is the future, rules of logic have been thrown to the wind, and Robert Sheckley's grasp of the human condition often leaves his readers more than a little disconcerted, amused and finally lost in thought."
