The World Idiot — Rhys Hughes

The world is about to end. Only one free place is left in the space station that will preserve those few lucky individuals who have been judged essential to facilitate the eventual rebuilding of civilisation. Competition for this last place is fierce. How can Henry, who has no skills, qualifications or talents, ensure that he doesn't get left behind? This is the plot of just one of the 15 short-stories contained in this collection by Rhys Hughes, a cult master of the fantastic!
