OverviewWHAT 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.

Do you expect me to believe that you don't know who Ira Nayman is by now? That you don't know that he has been writing humour since he was eight years old? That the other books in the series are: Alternate Reality Ain't What It Used To Be; What Were Once Miracles Are Now Children's Toys, and; Luna for the Lunies!? That his first novel, Welcome to the Multiverse* has been published by Elsewhen Press? That his Web site of political and social satire and surreal cartoons, Les Pages aux Folles (http: //www.lespagesauxfolles.ca) is over a decade old?
