The doors of his face, the lamps of his mouth and other stories
Roger Zelazny

Fifteen journeys into the future of man.

From a fishing expedition under the oceans of Venus to an electrically haunted mountain on Mars where a human girl is living in a state of hibernation, he stories range from a few decades to a few millennia into the future….a future where man is living on new worlds, creating mechanical servants and even re-designing the form of his own body…
