I usually don’t understand Lafferty stories. But not this one. It’s absurb, but absurb with a point. If the pace of progress increases, then, Lafferty says, eventually it will be so fast that someone could make and lose a fortune multiple times a night. While this is not a realistic story by any account, it’s amusing for what Lafferty points out as the preoccupations of humans freed from the constraints of time.
