This fictional compilation of short prose, dating from 1982, combines some sixteen pieces with subjects ranging from musical evolution to Christmas trees, Black Holes to Esperanto, and space travel to modern art. Of this number, the author's favourite is the title piece, a fantasy projection into a millennial future in which we enter the mind of a superman who is preparing to undergo an 'acid trip', view life in what is called the 'post-human millennium' from a spiritual leader's standpoint as he grapples with his counseling responsibilities vis-à-vis the superhuman flock, and sample a controller's perspective on post-human life from the administrative sidelines. One could argue that this is Mr Oloughlin's Brave New World, but it was with a view to refuting Huxleyite cynicism that he set out to fashion so positive a futuristic projection.
