HTML: Several thousand years from now, advanced humanoids known as the Makers will implant clockwork devices into our heads. At the cost of a certain amount of agency, these devices will permit us to move unhindered through time and space, and to live complacent, well-regulated lives. However, when one of these devices goes awry, a "clockwork man" appears accidentally in the 1920s, at a cricket match in a small English village. Comical yet mind-blowing hijinks ensue. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The title character is exactly what he sounds like - a human male with a clockwork brain. He somehow accidentally travels back in time about 8000 years, landing in the midst of a cricket game in England. While there are some humorous moments when he first appears, the book then becomes more serious and more philosophical about what the future of mankind may bring. Though somewhat dated in its style, the book was a fascinating look back at early twentieth century SF.
