More than 50 unpredictable essays and revenge fantasies by the Hugo Award-winning author of the Rifters series explore such subjects as his upbringing by strict Baptist parents, his encounter with flesh-eating bacteria and his ban from the United States. Original.
With over fifty unpredictable, scathing, hilarious, and more-than-occasionally moving essays about science, politics, family, pop culture, religion and more, Peter Watts Hugo Award-winning author, former marine biologist, and angry sentient tumor (via Annalee Newitz, author of Autonomous) shows why he is the savage dystopian optimist whom you cant look away from
even when you probably should.
[ STARRED REVIEW] Irreverent, self-depreciating, profane, and funny, showcasing a Hunter S. Thompsonesque studied rage and dissatisfaction with the status quo combined with the readability and humor of John Scalzi.
