This work is an anthology of two previous ebooks published as Amazon.com Kindle editions. It contains the stories Micromegas Returns: Reality Siriusly Reconsidered and Specialist Dilbert at the Pearly Gates: A Robot's Near-Death Experience. Micromegas Returns is a story based upon the 18th century French satirist Voltaire, whose main character, Micromegas, returns to Earth from Sirius after more than 200 years in order to see how much life has changed here. As for what s/he finds after landing in Catatonia . . . Specialist Dilbert at the Pearly Gates is another story from Catatonia. While minding his own business, he gets shot by two rednecks and pays a visit to the 'Pearly Gates', as it were. Is this a normal experience for a robot?
