    "description": "An irresistible mix of imagination, satire, and humor, these stories by acclaimed Japanese author Yasutaka Tsutsui imagine the consequences of a world where the fantastic and the mundane collide.\n\nThe opening story, \u201cThe Dabba Dabba Tree,\u201d details the hilarious side effects of a small conical tree that, when placed at the foot of one\u2019s bed, creates erotic dreams. In \u201cCommuter Army,\u201d a sly commentary on the ludicrousness of war, a weapons supplier becomes an unwilling conscript in a war zone. \u201cThe World is Tilting\u201d imagines a floating city that slowly begins to sink on one side, causing its citizens to reorient their daily lives to preserve a semblance of normality. And in the title story, we see how obscenely absurd the environment on Planet Porno appears to a group of scientists. The stories in Salmonella Men on Planet Porno winningly combine madcap hilarity and a sharp eye toward the insanities of contemporary life.",
