![]() There’s just a spirit of joyful insanity in the online discussion that didn’t come through in the stories in this book which tend more towards the nostalgic melancholy. ![]() It’s also just one part of a whole tumblr conversation / meme that is also hilarious and joyful, asking the questions: what if humans are the weird ones? Like just not the galactic norm at all in really weird ways? what if we’re space orcs? What if we’re the hold-my-beer species? What if our weirdness is that we form bonds with everything (family, friends, aliens, space ships, weapons, etc.)? I can certainly enjoy classic science fiction, but the premise of the book is that it was inspired by a tumblr post that I’d actually run across before this book was ever published.Īnd that tumblr post is hilarious. It’s not that they’re bad, it’s just that these stories read like classic silver age scifi stories. Sadly, I think I went in to it with my expectations a bit too high. I was very excited to discover this book existed and bought it for my kindle as soon as I realized it was a thing.
