The Jungle - Cities in Flight


From the book by James Blish.


Amalfi's flying New York City settles on the Planet He, a primitive jungle world located in a rift between galaxies. The equipment in an old tunnel section once used to wash subway trains thousands of years ago on Earth is still functioning, and the natives of the planet use it as a shower room.

Piper in the Woods


Wonderful short story by Philip K Dick about a military base on a distant asteroid where several soldiers are under the influence of a strange entity, known as the Piper in the woods. It seems to have the ability to turn them into plants. The commander is obviously concerned about this new daytime activity!
