Step into a future where people are equipped with intricate clockwork devices in their minds, enabling them to traverse time. But when one of these devices malfunctions, a Clockwork Man materializes right in the midst of a cricket match in 1923. E.V. Odles The Clockwork Man is hailed as a pioneering work, introducing the concept of a human-machine cyborg in literature. Join Mark Nelson as he narrates this fascinating tale.

Several thousand years from now, advanced humanoids known as the Makers will implant clockwork devices into our heads. At the cost of a certain amount of agency, these devices will permit us to move unhindered through time and space, and to live complacent, well-regulated lives. However, when one of these devices goes awry, a "clockwork man" appears accidentally in the 1920s, at a cricket match in a small English village. Comical yet mind-blowing hijinks ensue.
