Personal devolution isn't that bad, is it? The Martian Overmind will help you devolve, inverse ontogeny decapitulating phylogeny. We're all PHYLUM MONSTERS, after all. And you know you want to live a billion years - as a rock.

Don't fight it. Unwind. Loosen up. Relax.

"PHYLUM MONSTERS is a delightful book . . ." -- Gordon Dickson
