Well, it’s easy if you know how but it does take a few weeks so it’s not exactly instant. What? This isn’t a home brewing guide? Could’ve fooled me. I mean the beer’s right there on the cover and the rest of the scene is a pretty good approximation of what you’ll be seeing if you get it wrong. But yes, a SF novel about a mad scientist who invents dehydrated beer. I’m sure I’ve got it right now.

“Instant Gold: Frank O’Rourke” sounds like one of the many music records that were released in the 60s and early 70s.
“If you enjoyed INSTANT GOLD: FRANK O’ROURKE, also listen to SOLID GOLD: FRANK STALLONE and BOOTS OF GOLD: NANCY SINATRA”

Why is everything floating on or hovering above water? Perhaps they’ve finally figured out how to distill all of those gold molecules out of the ocean?

@fred: That tin looks like of … ashes? Dirt? Snuff? Not gold, that’s for sure, nor does it look like it would become gold if you added boiling water.
@ARY: I thought it sounded like a greatest hits compilation album. “Instant Gold by Frank O’Rourke”. It has one song that inexplicably was a hit, one song you vaguely recognize, and eight songs no one’s ever heard, including Mother O’Rourke.
