"A laugh-out-loud fantastic tale. Mordantly funny, fast-moving and sharp."

"Science Fiction needs humor, and it is plentiful in this zany, seriocomic variation on Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451."
—Publishers Weekly

"Masterfully ironic!"
—Philadelphia Enquirer


There are too many books! Too much music, too much art. The job of the Bureau of Arts and Entertainment is to collect and destroy the old, so as to make room for the new.

Hank Shapiro is a dedicated BAE agent. Dependable. Uncorruptible. Pitiless.

There is also a talking dog.
