The Androids Dream, John Scalzi - 07.17.07 ***
A hilarious futuristic adventure tale that will make you laugh outloud. Scalzi is an excellent writer, as evidenced by his "Old Man's War" series - but while Old Man's War is more serious in nature - exploring themes of life, death, and what it means to be human - The Androids Dream is an exploration of the silly and extreme, and Scalzi does an excellent job of guiding us through the more humorous side of his imagination.
