Chapter 4

This chapter serves as an introduction and framing device for the intertwined stories of 'Magic, Inc.' and 'Waldo.' It outlines the rise of a monopolistic magical agency that controls magical services and political power, and introduces Waldo F. Jones, a physically crippled genius who wields immense influence from his zero-gravity home. The narrative sets up a conflict between established magical authority and unconventional challengers who seek to disrupt the status quo.
