<p>WHAT ARE MUTANT TECHNOLOGIES? Mutant technologies are the machines that you see out of the corner of your eye when you should be concentrating on not running over your foot with the lawnubot you can’t quite seem to programme correctly to cut the grass to the specifications laid down by your local Glass Blown Homeowners Association. Mutant Technologies are machines that give you advice on how to liven up your loveless marriage when all you asked them for was a cup of tea. Mutant Technologies laugh in the face of human expectations, adding a layer of randomness to our scheduled to within an inch of our death lives. Mutant technologies are today’s technologies, tomorrow. Join various Alternate Reality News Service reporters, commentators and wannabes as they explore this new world in The Street Finds Its Own Uses for Mutant Technologies. In this volume, killing people with guns made by 3-D printers then melting them down and using the materials to create sculptures becomes an art movement. A satirical Web site’s reputation is questioned when it accidentally publishes a true story. Long passages of exposition from speculative fiction stories make their way into the Info Dump on the outskirts of the city. And, the war on doughnuts takes some unusual turns. Sweet! Praise for previous Alternate Reality News Service books: “As always, Ira Nayman, crosses my reality threshold at 90 mph and leaves me laughing, thoughtful, inspired and enriched even if no wiser. I strongly recommend his Alternate Reality News Service to readers in all dimensions and universes.” (Geoff Nelder, science42fiction) “The bottom line here is that Ira Nayman is a pretty funny guy who has written a couple of pretty funny books here that are worthy of your time and dollar.” (Sam Christopher, Axiom’s Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy)</p>

<p>Relationships are hard. And, when you find yourself in a new, unusual situation, who can you turn to for advice? Other than your Priest, Rabbi or Ventrosian Blitzvoort, I mean. And, your shrink. Arguably, you should definitely be asking your shrink for advice. Oh, and, come to think of it, your Aunt Bertha (because every family has a sympathetic Aunt Bertha. Okay, there are lots of places you can go for advice. But, if your Ventrosian Bliktvoort stops returning your calls, your shrink is away at an academic conference talking about his paper on your "condition" and your Aunt Bertha is no longer welcome at family gatherings because of the guacamole incident, there's always Amritsar and the Tech Answer Guy. For the first time, the Alternate Reality News Service has collected the wisdom of its award pining advice columnists in a single volume, the Guide to Love, Sex and Robots. Read through these pages to see if your particular problem is addressed. Amritsar and the Tech Answer Guy may not be your Aunt Bertha, but who among us is? REMEMBER: if you have a burning personal issue that you need help with, you can write Amritsar or The Tech Answer Guy at: questions@lespagesauxfolles.ca. Neither of them may be Deepak Chopra, exactly, but who among us, including Aunt Bertha, is?</p>

This hilarious science-fiction comedy novel follows the first case for Noomi Rapier, rookie investigator with The Transdimensional Authority - the organisation that regulates travel between dimensions. When a dead body is found slumped over a modified transdimensional machine, Noomi and her more experienced partner, Crash Chumley, must find the dead man's accomplices and discover what they were doing with the technology. Their investigation leads them to a variety of realities where Noomi comes face-to-face with four very different incarnations of herself, forcing her to consider how the choices she makes and the circumstances into which she is born determine who she is. Ira Nayman's new novel is both an hilarious romp through multiple dimensions in a variety of alternate realities, and a gentle satire on fate, ambition and expectation. Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) will appeal to comedy fans who have been bereft of much good science-fiction fare these last eleven years. Ira's style is at times surreal, even off-the-wall, with the humour flying at you from unexpected angles; he describes it as fractal humour. Anyone who has read his Alternate Reality News Service stories will know how funny Ira is. The characters we meet from around the multiverse deserve to become firm favourites with all fans of science fiction comedy.
