The Confiding Stone draws on the freedoms of speculative fiction in order to critically examine the seductions of power and vision. In the tradition of H.G.Wells ' The Time Machine, the story generates a vision of an alternate world in which a sophisticated civilization, already in danger of collapse, is rocked by contact with its past.
