Synopsis
A collection of nine short works of speculative fiction, ranging from wry near-future vignettes to a serial-killer mystery to the philosophical title story. The lineup gathers pieces Weir wrote and shared over years online, including ‘Access,’ ‘Antihypoxiant,’ ‘Annie’s Day,’ ‘The Real Deal,’ ‘Bored World,’ ‘The Midtown Butcher,’ ‘Meeting Sarah,’ ‘The Chef,’ and ‘The Egg.’
Tones shift sharply between entries — some play an idea for comedy or a twist, others sit with a darker premise — but each turns on a single inventive conceit explored to its logical end. Released as an audio collection in 2017 with multiple narrators, it offers a compact tour of the short fiction Weir produced alongside his novels.
