Santa : wormholes, robots, and what really happens on Christmas Eve

viii, 144 p. : col. ill. ; 21 cm.

"A dynamically illustrated, futuristic case for the scientific possibility that Santa Claus really exists. Santa Claus: fat, jolly, omniscient, swift. Lives in a nice home in the Arctic, with the missus and a pack of elves. Well, forget what you know. Santa Claus is from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as it turns out, and he's not as fat as he used to be. Here's something else you didn't know: he's been dabbling in some futuristic technology, and has found myriad ways to make his job easier. Who's been naughty and nice? Simple: implant listening devices into your ornaments. How can he make it to every house Christmas Eve? That's nothing a little cloning and some wormholes can't solve. And he has plenty of other tactics: quantum entanglement, organ replacement, drug-induced hibernation and unmanned aerial vehicles. The author uses science and technology, drawing on the work of accomplished scientists and researchers, to give us a whole new portrait of this remarkable man. The author especially wants you to know that this book makes an outstanding, economical Christmas gift for just about anyone. Gregory Mone lives in Massachusetts. He plans to write about Irish mythology and the evolution of the universe. Those will probably be two different projects, but it would be kind of funny to combine them"--Provided by publisher.

American wit and humor.
