Terminal Boredom: Stories by Izumi Suzuki is $1.99 on Amazon.com
This is a collection of Japenese short stories from 40 years ago.
A short description of each story can be found here: https://jamesdavisnicoll.com/review/...s-such-a-chore

Quote:
The first English language publication of the work of Izumi Suzuki, a legend of Japanese science fiction and a countercultural icon

At turns nonchalantly hip and charmingly deranged, Suzuki's singular slant on speculative fiction would be echoed in countless later works, from Margaret Atwood and Harumi Murakami, to Black Mirror and Ex Machina. In these darkly playful and punky stories, the fantastical elements are always earthed by the universal pettiness of strife between the sexes, and the gritty reality of life on the lower rungs, whatever planet that ladder might be on.
