Bliffel and the Amorpho Beam

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?
