A solid collection of science fiction stories from the mid-1940s which can be divided into two main groups: tales of mutations induced by nuclear war, leading to the next step in human evolution, and plain humourous tales. The former are very much products of their time (and nothing wrong with that), with the atomic bomb at the forefront of everybody's consciousness in the immediate post-war era.
