"Perils of Free Thought" is filled with aphorisms, jokes, anti-jokes, philosophy, and bears. Jokes are compact lies. But they are splendid, beautiful lies. Short stories are simple lies, and you can tell them in one sitting. Novels are long form lies. Complicated. Got to hold that lie together. Reality is just a bunch of lies in real time.
This book also contains "Perils of Time Travel (another book of no small danger)"
