Synopsis
Classic Science Fiction

"The Midas Plague" - They had committed the greatest crime: failure to consume enough! So their punishment was to consume more and more and more....
"The Day the Icicle Works Closed" - The world was facing total unemployment, and the people had only one thing left to hock, their bodies!
"Happy Birthday, Dear Jesus" - There was peace on Earth. But joy to all men? Well, that was another matter!
"The Martian in the Attic" - What's the value of a real, live Martian? Duniop was determined to find out - and he did!

And lots more!
