How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe: A Novel

Reviewer's Notes

According to the dust jacket, this book should be “a razor-sharp, ridiculously funny and utterly touching story of a son searching for his father . . . through quantum space-time.” Unfortunately it actually is little more than experimental, self-referential, metaphysical twaddle.

The best things about this book are the title and the cover art. The book itself reads like the writers behind Wesley Crusher’s, from ST:TNG, techno-babble dialogue got high on speed and LCD simultaneously while feeling sorry for themselves.

Janetxb: Another (former) Dannon coffee yogurt fan here..... until recently. I'd say for about 25 years I had one carton of Dannon coffee yogurt almost every day. I was pretty bummed out when they switched from 8- to 6-oz. cups, but I adjusted. Lately I do this instead: I put 1/2 t
