    In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type.  But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just over-looked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.   
     
    Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.

    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.

    Rumour’s got a lot to say for itself, and the message is clear: the regulator’s ready.  
    You know. The magickal regulator. The bright and shiny thing with which we, Team Improbable, propose to restore magick to a fading Britain. 
    Somebody’s got to test it, and that somebody is us.  
    Which means wading into the depths of a long-dead realm that nobody’s entered in centuries. And I may have had some practice at that, but this time it’s different. 
    This time, somebody’s still home. And they really aren’t happy about trespassers.  
    Looks like disaster’s on the agenda. Again.  
    Not to worry, though. Where there’s life, there’s hope.  
    And… dancing. 
    Ves and Jay return in a fresh bout of magickal madness! Grab your dancing shoes and hang onto your hat. It’s going to be wild.
