#acrossApril April 27: freedom day
In the classic sci-fi novel Little Fuzzy, and in Scalzi‘s tribute Fuzzy Nation, the protagonist works for a day that the Fuzziss are free & declares sentient beings to protect them from the greedy corporation.
pickThis 1963 Hugo nominee was great! It‘s basically a legal drama about one group‘s fight to help a recently discovered sentient species gain the status they need to exert rights over their home planet. Piper escalates the tension well and packs in more characterization than I expected. I was genuinely scared for all the Fuzzies, and pleased to see so many characters choose to advocate for what was right instead of embracing the easy route.
I did a 10-mile bike ride this morning, which my Fitbit counted as about two miles‘ worth of steps, then took a 5-mile #audiowalk on this glorious, 31° day. I saw some pretty cars and finished LITTLE FUZZY before I started in on STARSHIP TROOPERS. (I‘m casually working my way through all the Hugo winners and nominees.)
I like it when cranes have flags on them.
I also like LITTLE FUZZY so far. It‘s way more engaging than my last dip into classic SF. #audiowalk
pickThe was one of the best books I‘ve read in a long time! It‘s from the 60‘s and I can‘t believe I‘ve never heard of this author before now. I‘m going to go on Amazon and buy all the rest of the books in the set right away.
If you like sci-fi and you like cute critters, this is a must read!!
