Contents
Farley revised stories to eliminate "many mathematico-physical footnotes", which he compiled and rewrote as "After Math", presenting "the various scientific theories of time, and compar[ing] all my own various inconsistent theories and techniques". While "The Golden City" was described as excerpted from a soon-to-be published novel, the full-length work did not appear until 2006.
Reception
New York Times reviewer Basil Davenport reported that "Readers who enjoy mathematical paradoxes, as well as those who enjoy science fiction, will find this good entertainment."
