== Summary ==

The series is an anthology primarily devoted to science‑fiction narratives, several of which are adapted from works by notable authors. Among the stories featured is ''Time in Advance,'' set in a future society where individuals exhibiting criminal tendencies may obtain licences permitting them to commit a crime pre‑emptively. Another instalment, ''The Machine Stops,'' presents an Edwardian‑era vision of a technologically dominated future in which humanity lives under the pervasive control of machines.

In ''Satisfaction Guaranteed,'' an ambitious executive departs on a business trip, leaving his wife in the care of a humanoid robot indistinguishable from a human being. The anthology concludes with ''Target Generation,'' which depicts a puritanical, superstitious, and insular community confined for generations within The Ship. The inhabitants live in fear of a recurring tremor, and only one man understands how to respond when it occurs.
