About This Book

A suburban couple frets over their son's unbroken string of top marks, anxious about the implications of his relentless precocity. Above them, celestial clerks discover that the infant is the million-quadrillionth human birth and, through bureaucratic miscalculation, permit the child to receive far more knowledge than is appropriate. The story traces domestic unease and heavenly bungling as the newborn's abnormal understanding produces escalating, comic yet unsettling consequences, using satire to explore parental fear, institutional incompetence, and the dangers of granting adult-scale insight to a child.
