Crooked house is a story concerning the still prevalent problems of overcrowding and house prices - combined with the difficulties of grasping other physical dimensions. The Roads must roll concerns union activity in days when transport pressures are huge. Lifeline covers the profession of life insurance, and the effects of a new scientific prediction technique. It is the most dated of the stories, with public gatherings to debate scientific principles.
My favourite is the unpleasant profession of Johnathon Hoag - it is longer than the others bordering upon a novella, and it does drag in places. But it envisages a galactic society where the appreciation of food as art rather than energy intake is unheard of. A great concept. ( )
