This paper focuses on Aramaki Yoshio's short story "Yawarakai tokei" (Soft Clocks) and the powerful connections it establishes between art (surrealism), psychology, literature (science fiction), and hard sciences (rheology, condensed matter physics and nanotechnology). I argue that Aramaki's science-fictional method is close to Deleuze's concept of bricolage.
