The Steam Driven Boy And Other Strangers by John Sladek
A razor-sharp collection of darkly comic, satirical science-fiction tales that skewers technophilia and modern institutions; through bizarre encounters with robots, impostors, obsessive inventors and petty bureaucrats, the stories probe identity, language and the absurdities of progress with mordant wit and linguistic play, exposing human vanity, paranoia and the unforeseen consequences of mechanization.
