abstract:Hoity Toity (Russian: Хойти-Тойти) is a 1929 Soviet science fiction novella written by Alexander Belyayev. The novel, part of the Professor Wagner's Inventions series, was first published in Vsemirny Sledopyt magazine between January and February 1930.
Our droll narrator, Jake Landry, is a typical Finder hero: an unambitious regular guy far down the corporate food chain, whom the hoity-toity higher-ups undervalue and snub.
It would probably be easier for my kids to get into a hoity-toity college, since smart high schoolers are a dime a dozen in New York City and its environs.
