The Overloaded Man

The Overloaded Man is a collection of short stories, mostly of the thought-experiment type, peopled with time slips, weird discrepencies, anomalies and unusual effects. The picture shows the overloaded man at the beginning of his story, thoroughly "contaminated with material excresences". A week off for creative reflection, anyone?

The thing on the cover of this Panther Science fiction paperback looks vaguely like some sort of underwater pipe, but as its uncredited and unlabelled, who knows?
