    Comedy meets Brave New World, Blade Runner and Cyber Punk. This book is a selection of short stories without care of being cancelled. 
    Humor is becoming extinct and the author hopes it will remain alive. As Mark Twain once wrote; “It is not hard being funny, as long as it is the Truth!” 
    Excerpt: 
    2033 
    Business men now work on Freedom Street (was Wall Street). Cyber Cams have cyber games and now the Internet monitors Itself with Devilet (One World Government) system. People walk along lanes on the side walk. They are ticked if they do over 3.3 miles an hour. A Meter bills them out of their 401 Gay Account. 
    It is like the Dark Ages now. The job problems are not around because a third of six billion people are lying low, victims of coverted wars, nukes, reactors leaking more than your grandma’s depends after watching another Harry Potter Seniors Night 
    Joe was a refuse collector. He wore a chem. Suit. Why did he collect refuse because he could not refuse.

    Norie's series of piloting and sailing directions was something of a staple in the chart-room of 19th century British (and other) merchant vessels. The description of landmarks and ports, as well as the rules and regulations provide another viewpoint to an earlier age. Please note that these piloting directions are rather completely out of date. They are given here for purposes of historical interest only, and should not be used for navigation purposes. (Summary by P Hirvonen)

    “You remember Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun? Yeah, this really isn’t like those. It’s better” (San Francisco Chronicle).   Most people want out of North Korea. Wendy Simmons wanted in.   In My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth, Wendy shares a glimpse of North Korea as it’s never been seen before. Even though it’s the scariest place on Earth, somehow Wendy forgot to check her sense of humor at the border.   But Wendy’s initial amusement and bewilderment soon turned to frustration and growing paranoia. Before long, she learned the essential conundrum of “tourism” in North Korea: Travel is truly a love affair. But, just like love, it’s a two-way street. And North Korea deprives you of all this. They want you to fall in love with the singular vision of the country they’re willing to show you and nothing more.   Through poignant, laugh-out-loud essays and ninety-two never-before-published color photographs of North Korea, Wendy chronicles one of the strangest vacations ever. Along the way, she bares all while undergoing an inner journey as convoluted as the country itself.   “Much of the humor and poignancy comes from the absurdity of a fun-loving free spirit taking a vacation that’s more rigidly scripted and controlled than a presidential motorcade . . . Simmons’ photos—including an eerie image of a classroom full of schoolgirls playing accordions—further illustrate the bizarre nature of a country that, whether for good or bad, has been carefully controlled for generations.” —San Francisco Chronicle  “An irresistible read . . . A rare and fascinating look at the tourist’s North Korea in a work that is humorous, appalling, and very sad. A highly recommended and revealing glimpse into a secretive land.” —Library Journal
