Ever have one of those dreams where you find a fish swimming above your head? Without all the water, mind you. (Thank heavens!) And when you try to speak to him, he begins to purr. No? Silly human! For I am a cat, and we dream about such things. Dreams that cause us to act in bizarre ways and force us to make just as strange life-changing decisions. Approximately 2,100 words. Intended for children 6 to 8 and cat lovers in general. Descriptions of my other popular children's books are included after the main feature (an additional 5 pages).

In the year 3003, nothing in the world is the same, except maybe that adolescents are still embarrassed by their parents. Society and the biosphere alike have been transformed by biotechnology, and the natural world is almost gone. Frek Huggins is a boy from a broken family, a misfit because he's a natural child, conceived without technological help or genetic modifications. His dad, Carb, is a malcontent who left behind Frek’s mom and the Earth itself several years ago. Everything changes when Frek finds the Anvil, a small flying saucer, under his bed, and it tells him he is destined to save the world. The repressive forces of Gov, the mysterious absolute ruler of Earth, descend on Frek, take away the Anvil, and interrogate him forcefully enough to damage his memory. Frek flees with Wow, his talking dog, to seek out Carb and some answers. But the untrustworthy alien in the saucer has other plans, including claiming exclusive rights to market humanity to the galaxy at large, and making Frek a hero. Frek and the Elixir is a profound, playful SF epic by the wild and ambitious Rudy Rucker.
