Losers in Space
Losers in Space | John Barnes
1 post | 3 to read
It is the year 2129 . . . and fame is all that matters Susan and her friends are celebutantes. Their lives are powered by media awareness, fed by engineered meals, and underscored by cynicism. Everyone has a rating; the more viewers who ID you, the better. So Susan and her almost-boyfriend Derlock cook up a surefire plan: the nine of them will visit a Mars-bound spaceship and stow away. Their survival will be a media sensation, boosting their ratings across the globe. There's only one problem: Derlock is a sociopath. Breakneck narrative, pointed cultural commentary, warm heart, accurate science, a kickass heroine, and a ticking clock . . . who could ask for more?

Ok, I haven't read this yet, but ...

a) OMG, that title and
b) I loved Tales of the Madman Underground

Anyway, I checked it out and I look forward to seeing if these losers make it to experience #lifeonmars. Apparently, one of them is a sociopath so the journey might end badly. #septembowie
