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.
