As is only natural for that kind of brilliant day, we thought of that thing called ‘the beach’ and we were moving with the inevitability of numbers getting crunched. First published in Overland Issue 228 Published in Overland Issue 248 Spring 2022 Feature | Sci-fi realism: M Barnard Eldershaw’s Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow Thomas Moran Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a book that has remained an enigma since it was first published in a heavily censored form in 1947.
