Award-winning literary essays explore the absurdity of human ambition through a comedic lens. Notable figures, like Alex Comfort, emerge as unconventional visionaries—Comfort seeks to dismantle monogamy while a retired chemist transforms wastelands into paradises. An aspiring tyrant aims for American emperorship, and an artist experiments with a "brain machine" crafted from Radio Shack parts. Most essays, previously featured in prominent magazines, highlight the eccentric endeavors of those determined to reshape the world, showcasing both humor and insight.
