Long after the demise of humankind, birds roam freely around a new earth complete with fruitful trees, sophisticated fungal networks, and an enviable socialist order. The universal worm feeds all, there are no weekends, and economics is as fantastical a study as unicorn psychology. Michael DeForge\'s post-apocalyptic reality brings together the author\'s quintessential deadpan humor, surrealist imagination, and undeniable sociopolitical insight. (W/A/CA) Michael DeForge
