Kybernetická korytnačka
Na gymnáziu vznikal pod vedením inšpiratívneho profesora pozoruhodný robot: korytnačka, ktorá obchádzala prekážky, sledovala čiary, svetlo i zvuk. Projekt priniesol technické dobrodružstvo, laboratórne privilégiá aj prezývku, ktorá chutila pri pochvale a bolela pri závinoch. Spomienka, kde elektronika kráča pomaly, no príbeh uháňa.

Nové zpěvy staré Číny
Víno teče, měsíc svítí a Li Po kráčí krajinou, kde i opilost má poetický směr. Mezi porcelánovými pavilony, padajícími květy a létajícími verši ožívá stará Čína jako půvabná, lehce přiopilá pohlednice. Stačí se začíst — a možná začnete psát verše také.
