Between Folly and Hubris is a series of separate stories spanning different eras and societies, with one common theme: humanity's reckless self-destruction. From Ancient Alexandrians to Elizabethan Londoners to robot warriors of a future apocalypse, and from billionaire penthouses to Alaskan fishing shacks to suburban call centres. Each of these tales looks at the way in which our misguided attitudes towards the environment we inhabit and the technology we create sow the potential seeds of our degradation and destruction. Whether bleakly harsh or wryly humorous, they expose the folly and hubris that dog humankind.
