There are four science fiction short stories in this book, and each of them is designed to provide a good, short read in the genre. The aim of this book is to entertain those who enjoy reading what might have been or could be and maintain a literary quality of writing and presentation. There are also four interior covers, each designed, created and produced, with artistry, by Greg himself. As an artist, he would have it no other way.
What does an author do when his daughter and her friends come into his office and complain to him that a writer cannot just sit down and write? What he does is what Greg Taylor did; he challenged them, stopped what he was working on, wrote Ellitoe's Egg, then read it to them. They understood then two things, a writer can sit down and write a story and prove that there is no such thing as "Writer's Cramp" or "Blank Paper Syndrome." Read and see what he wrote.
At another time, Greg tried to imagine an alternative form for a manufactured woman in a situation where she was certain she was being evaluated in her purpose of presenting herself as a live translucent example of a mature woman's internal organs, nervous system, blood flows, and the like, to medical professionals. She is challenged by an earlier model, a Lucent Three named Polish, and does not take well to this, even though they are friends, so he wrote Lucent Four, a science fiction answer to the question, "What do I do now?"
Conforming to a designed way to be, way to look and way to act can be a good thing or a bad thing. Josephus Josephinian Joseph brings this contrast to light. Joseph, a friend to a business psychologist named Corney, comes to him when Joseph's son Joseph does not want the same name. The psychologist suggests that Joseph recommend that his son choose a nickname. He does, and it works. Find out what it is.
Bliffel, a simple man becomes simpler when he purposely steps in front of the Amorpho Beam and obviously becomes amorphous, which would distress a more complex person. He makes the best of it, along with those around him, and everyone adapts. When Bliffel falls in love, and Mary does too, the result is a very interesting combination of characteristics. This is actually a charming story of romance in a different style in a very high-tech environment and like any good love story, it works out well. Aren't happy endings wonderful?
