Sometime in the near future Dennis and his father join an organized coach trip from Stockport to a football match in Germany. In the few spare hours before the game starts the men on the coach visit the red light district and a club called 'Die Freuden der Technik'.
The club has financial worries and has engaged a choreographer to improve the show so they can cater for groups like football fans.
The resulting show is too much, even for an internet savvy teenager and possibly for many readers.
This is science fiction and the original short story was published in print as a Pendragon Press chapbook, a single short story in booklet form, in 2011. This E book is more than that short story and, along with the original story, the extra material may be offensive to some.
Autorentext
Roy Gray's short fiction, non fiction and even 'poetry' have appeared in magazines, (eg Interzone) anthologies, journals, trade press and online. He is not the Roy Gray who writes erotic poetry which also can be found online.
Roy's chapbook 'The Joy of Technology', Pendragon Press 2011, is now a self published E book. "Joy" could persuade some he is that other Roy Gray but there are at least two of them and this Roy's poetic efforts remain decidedly chaste.
Roy won two Science in Print (Physics in Print) awards and, in collaboration Phil Emery, a UK Public Awareness of Science grant in 2003.
He has a degree in Physics and retired from a major pharmaceutical company in 2001. His speciality was packaging for new products. He lives in East Cheshire.
There is another Roy Gray who writes erotic poetry. That is not me. My poetry is chaste however that description does not apply to 'The Joy of Technology'.
