Nine quirky tales of absurd aliens, clueless androids, and asinine humans. From the uninvited alien couple taking up residence in the master bedroom (and spawning at an alarming rate), to the ludicrous conspiracy theory that turns out to be true (kind of). Witness the AI takeover of the world kicking off in a shoe shop in Peckham. Meet history’s most useless time traveller and the geriatric superhero whose power is more trouble (and less use) than it’s worth. Plus, four more tales where nothing ever seems to turn out right.
