bizzare collection ofs scifi, Alien ladders murder people. That is the most normal story you get, I love this stuff. Check it out, everyone. This is a book of short stories, About a third arestar, a third arestar, and a third arestar, So the book as a whole gets the average,
The book has a lot of clever commentary about the state of the world, using clever metaphor and allegory, For example, there's a short story about a man who's crushed in a car accident, and it takes the medicshours to resurrect him and regenerate his limbs.
. . a feat for which he sues them because he's pissed that it took so long, Another chapter involves a man taking up murder and cannibalism because he knows that nobody will do anything so long as it happens to somebody else an allegory about how we allow horrible atrocities overseas so long as it doesn't affect us.
Those stories are delightful, Fun to read, full of meaning, and capturing the sense that modern societal norms involve entitlement over gratitude, and a deep sense of apathy.
Other chapters, like Ook Ook Ook which basically involves a cult religion revolving around an Elvislike singer and eventually leads to world peace because people like the hip gyrations and the sound.
. . they were a waste of my time to read, Some of the chapters leave you scratching your head in bafflement
as they read like they were written by a sleep deprivedyear old.
It's hard to find a copy, so its unlikely one will fall into your possession, but if one does, I recommend you read the first few stories, and stop as soon as you get to one you don't like.
The order is arranged such that the best stories are early in the book, Some good weird shit in here, Kilgore Troutish. An odd little collection of stories all loosely based around the concept of life in a future America of the mids or so during and after a huge population explosion.
Written in thes and obviously dated in quite a few ways personal cameras are referred to as "Brownies", for one, Some amusing bits, overall, interesting enough to be worth the dollar I paid for it at a Goodwill, Hodson's Caper shortstory
