Eine der großen Dystopien des 20. Jahrhunderts - aber lustig. Hier bleibt Ijon Tichy, der Held so vieler lemscher Erzählungen, ausnahmsweise auf dem Boden, das heißt auf der Erde. Es bedeutet allerdings nicht, dass es ihm hier langweilig würde, ganz im Gegenteil: Er wird beschossen, eingefroren, aufgetaut, betäubt, benebelt, beglückt und bekommt schließlich noch einen Rattenschwanz verpasst. "Der futurologische Kongreß" ist eine der großen Dystopien des 20. Jahrhunderts – allerdings deutlich lustiger als die Konkurrenz von Orwell, Huxley oder Atwood.

Nacho had zero intentions to make friends. He certainly had no plans to be put in the unenviable position of being the leader of a guild. But if there’s one thing that he excels at, it certainly isn’t cooking. No, he’s far better at rolling with the punches and making sure the people around him survive. When literal monsters are everywhere, that’s the kind of person you want in charge. But this world isn’t what he’s been expecting. Things are different. He is different. By succeeding so much, so fast, humanity has unlocked the next stage of the Juxtaposition, years before they’re ready for it.

Eli "Nacho" Naches is a fearsome assassin who has lost everything in a post-apocalyptic world full of monstrous creatures. He knows where he fits in this horror show, and he’s only been hanging around to see what’s going to be thrown at him next. When he’s finally put in chains and sent to the chopping block, he goes readily...only to be unexpectedly sent back in time to his younger body with his memories intact and the chance to make a difference.

The year is 2099 and planet Earth is in crisis. A change in its orbit has resulted in days being 25 hours long (except Thursday, which hasn't existed for over a decade) and the extra months of Janril, Febtober, and Marchuary. In a post-apocalyptic England, the cattle-clasm has wiped out the majority of livestock and climate change has formed the drizzly season of Hamble. However, hope is at hand for the planet in the form of Professor Nebulous.

Che succede se un gruppo di cinque o sei inglesi si ritrovano attorno ad un fuoco, la sera della Vigilia di Natale come consuetudine, sorseggiando gin e whisky, per raccontarsi storie (assolutamente veritiere) di fantasmi? Succede che i fantasmi compaiono davvero, e all'ennesimo giro di gin, non ci sono più dubbi. Jerome K. Jerome stesso, con una sfrenata ironia britannica, prende le vesti del raccontatore in prima persona, riferendo di spiriti che più che farci morire dalla paura ci fanno morire dalle risate.

Беда это такая противная тётка, что любит приходить когда не надо и у неё много подружек... Ещё и враги один хитрее другого... куда делись старые добрые тупые зомби.

Несомненно, у Айрис был план, о котором она никому не поведала, естественно, ради блага самих друзей. Несмотря на свое космическое происхождение и воспитание в идеальном обществе, ее можно было описать двумя словами, дикая, но симпатичная. И как привидение с мотором, норовила исчезнуть в самый неподходящий момент.

Some, even, want to see it destroyed. It’s quick. It’s convenient. And it will help people kill you and your family as readily as it will help them sell you knickknacks for a quick mortie.
