Pretty dark, albeit realistic, view of the modern world. One of the stories featuring the devil says "He had been bored the last few hundred years with very little to do but wait ever since he had put certain observations of steam kettles into the head of a young Scots inventor. The kettle epiphany had booted a species - selfish, clever creatures with poor impulse control, suited to hunt, gather and scratch out a little agriculture - into a savagely technological civilization that got rapidly out of hand and sent them blundering toward The End."
