Our Own Devices

Synopsis

A collection of 9 new "mid-century speculative retro fiction" short stories with a preface, section Intros, and archival illustrations. The Second World War. Nuclear Power. Space Exploration. These powerful forces forever changed the course of history. In these nine new stories and three essays Messier explores our intimate and often fickle relationship with science and technology in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, and how it came to define our past, present and future.
