Widely acknowledged as Yasutaka Tsutsui''s masterpiece, Paprika unites his surreal, quirky imagination with a mind-bending narrative about a psychiatric institute that has developed the technology to invade people''s dreams. When prototype models of a dream-invading device go missing at the Institute for Psychiatric Research, it transpires that someone is using them to drive people insane. Threatened both personally and professionally, brilliant psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba has to journey into the world of fantasy to fight her mysterious opponents. As she delves ever deeper into the imagination, the borderline between dream and reality becomes increasingly blurred, and nightmares begin to leak into the everyday realm. The scene is set for a final showdown between the dream detective and her enemies, with the subconscious as their battleground, and the future of the waking world at stake.

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. The opening story, “The Dabba Dabba Tree,” details the hilarious side effects of a small conical tree that, when placed at the foot of one’s bed, creates erotic dreams. In “Commuter Army,” a sly commentary on the ludicrousness of war, a weapons supplier becomes an unwilling conscript in a war zone. “The World is Tilting” 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.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Dreams are the windows to the psyche. What happens when you break the window?The Institute for Psychiatric Research is at the cutting edge of mental healthcare. Brilliant psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba has pioneered their dream therapy, allowing doctors to view patients' dreams in real time to diagnose disorders hidden in the subconscious.Atsuko wants to take it further. Using a device that allows her to enter dreams physically, and interact with them, directly treating the patients rather than simply diagnosing. It hasn't been approved for such use, but disguised as the beautiful Paprika, Atsuko has been doing so covertly, on people willing to pay for quick solutions to shameful problems.When the prototypes of a new, more powerful device disappear from her partner's lab, and it becomes clear that it can be used not just to treat... but to control and harm. And the more it is used, the more the borders between waking and sleeping deteriorate, for everyone.Atsuko must find who stole the prototype - a jealous rival? An opportunistic newcomer? - before dreams and reality combine and become a nightmare.With a new, authorised English translation by Helen O'Horan, Yasutaka Tsutsui's mind-bending masterpiece joins the SF Masterworks.
