Neutrino Drag

From the author of THE STEAMPUNK TRILOGY You can try to escape from the mundane, or with the help of Paul Di Filippo, you can take a brief, meaningful break from it. In the vein of George Saunders or Michael Chabon, Di Filippo uses the tools of science fiction and the surreal to take a deep, richly felt look at humanity. His brand of funny, quirky, thoughtful, fast-moving, heart-warming, brain-bending stories exist across the entire spectrum of the fantastic from hard science fiction to satire to fantasy and on to horror, delivering a riotously entertaining string of modern fables and stories from tomorrow, now and anytime. After you read Paul Di Filippo, you'll no longer see everyday life quite the same. With twenty tales, a bold lack of restraint and amazing stylistic diversity Di Filippo makes strange bedfellows of a range of characters from Jayne Mansfield to Pythagoras to Disney "imagineers" to the Virgin Mary fit together inside a bountiful collection of surprises, humor and the very, very strange. William Gibson has identified his writing as, "spooky, haunting, and hilarious," and after you absorb all the shocks, you will inevitably agree. Originally published: 2004
