It was Plinth's turn to evince incredulity. Obviously, there was no lighthouse at these coordinates, or at any other coordinates in the general vicinity. The apparent reality of the situation did not mesh with with common sense. The situation was untenable. Plinth employed the use of a vintage chronometer, worn on his wrist. Presently, he fingered the device as his lawyers booted up their paperwork. "We're in the middle of the South Atlantic, Wetbeard," he said. "Please explain." "Sir, I don't know where it came from. I looked down, and then I looked up. From out of nowhere, it was there." "Well, what am I paying you for? Steer the ship out of its way." "Sir, that's what I've been trying to tell you. I--" 3rd edition with corrections, December 2017

Spiked iced tea for the eyeballs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2012

The only book I've read in the last decade that kept me up until 4 a.m., eclipsed the other books I was reading, and did so with an imaginative zeal firmly grounded in the plausible, without the slightest hint of pretense. Sci-fi that you should recommend to everybody. Even those without a future.

Will be reading everything else this narrative drug dealer puts out. Hopelessly hooked.

Smurf Passion! VR Goggles! Ninjutsu Camp! Chicken-Fried James Bonds in Pickup Trucks! The chapter "In the End Nothing Works" should be required reading for any student of supply-side economics that has not considered suicide. If you are a total cheapskate you can find all this piecemeal on the web, but nothing beats having the artifact in your mitts, filling your brain with the beautifully cut gears of it's internal logic.

Like a Fine Sports Car.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2011

I hated my job, but I needed the money. I bought a nice house just outside of LA. It had a lot of windows. The realtor even said 'There are a lot of windows in this house.' I had them put in even more windows before I moved in. I got a Ferrari. I ordered it from Italy. It came on a boat. The guy that brought it to my house remarked on the amount of windows.

Houses cost money. Cars cost money. Windows cost money.

Sometimes I'll read a book or watch a movie or look at a cereal box for too long and I feel myself becoming a character.

Was I becoming my job?

I drove my Ferrari around the city. When I would tell people about the car, I could tell they thought it was stereotypical or cheesy, but as soon as they saw it that changed. A show of respect washed over their face. Though I often wondered where this respect was aimed. The car itself? The artistry behind the machine? The status it implied? More and more, I felt it certainly wasn't me they were respecting.

I spent as much time driving as I could. When i wasn't driving I would stand in my house and look out my windows. One window then the next. When I wasn't doing that I was working.

I began to allow people's interest and respect for the car to reflect on me. Why not? I owned it. I worked for it. 'Nice Ferrari,' they would say. 'Thanks,' I would say as if they were complimenting my tie, my smile, my eyes, my actions.

That's around when the car's metal exterior first started to become human skin.

At first, of course, I was horrified. I called the place I had purchased it from. They only spoke Italian. I started to wonder if I should take the bus to work. I didn't want to frighten people. Then I realized, the more the car began to resemble flesh, the more people liked it.

My coworkers would stop me in the hallway and say 'Is that your baby out there? Beautiful.' People at the grocery store would say 'She's gorgeous.'

I spent more and more time in the car. When I wasn't in the car I would look out my windows at the car. One window then the next. When I wasn't doing that I was working.

One day I was sitting in the driver's seat about to pull out of a 7-11 parking lot when I noticed the small breaths coming from the dash. At first I thought the sound was words and was scared but soon I realized it was just light breathing. It felt good on my knuckles, comfortable.

I don't want to go to work anymore. I stand in the parking lot at my office and lay my face on the hood of the car and feel it's warmth, and I know how much I'll miss it during the next eight hours. But cars don't pay for themselves. Houses don't pay for themselves. Windows don't pay for themselves.
