This collection introduces five highly original short stories mostly with strong overtones of science fiction and social comment. From a crazed physicist who is convinced he has found an infallible way to win the lottery to a dystopian desert city of the future which is ruled by state-like corporations; from a tin-pot plan to launch a teapot into orbit around the sun to the revelation that a painting emblematic of nineteenth-century early Impressionism, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, is actually set on another planet; and a fifth outlier about a relationship across the most extreme political divide: these are tales as much of the future as of our own times. With frequent dark humour they touch on themes which include climate change, isolationism, totalitarianism, and rebellious artificial intelligence.

Luck of the Draw profiles past winners of big lotteries, and how their windfalls impacted their lives, mostly for the better, but sometimes for the worse, such as the Florida widow who won $5 million in 1984: three years later, she lost her mansion and fancy cars, and owed the IRS $500,000 in back taxes, and was eventually arrested for trying to hire a contract killer for her daughter-in-law, whom she blamed for her lottery misfortune.
