No full text"To celebrate twenty years in operation he [Andy Brown] asked one author or artist for each year of the press who had a book out that year to contribute something new, something that represented Conundrum.

The Andy Stories
Full text linkThe four stories within, "Jim of India," "Shooting the Breeze," "Bridge," and "Point Reyes," are part of a longer work in progress, tentatively titled The Andy Stories. The stories follow Andy, a woman in her 50s, on a voyage across the continent and into herself. Of these, all are written in the present, except "Bridge," which is a memory of a visit to San Francisco when Andy was 12. Eventually, some of the Andy stories may stand on their own, though they were originally written in that wavery ground between short story and novel chapter. However, whether story collection or novel, the author intends this thesis to represent early drafts of what may eventually be a longer, and perhaps much different work
The Shape of Things That Came
No full textHG Wells' future history novel looks back from the year 2106. Halfway through the novel's time span, Sean Street explores what the author got almost right - or terribly wrong.
In 1933, Wells published a novel which purported to be a history of the years 1929 to 2105, received from the future in dreams. He called his book The Shape of Things to Come, a phrase that has since become a part of the English language. Now, 84 years into the time scale of this prophetic book and with 88 more to go to complete the story - poet and professor of radio Sean Street goes back to the text and explores what Wells got right, what he got wrong - and what may be yet to come.
From predicting another world war to a utopian world government, he navigates a journey through Wells' future past using audio archives and contemporary news bulletins, with expert help from Christopher Frayling, Andy Sawyer and Orson Wells.
