An agoraphobic learns the secret of existence through his broken clock radio. A hole in a suburban backyard may be humanity's last hope. Two young professionals face oblivion in lawn chairs. Credit card debt no longer matters and beer is now free. The Reluctant Prophet is a collection of short stories that take place just before the end of the world, just before Denny's closes its doors forever and New York City suddenly becomes astonishingly affordable to visit.
