Megapopular writer John Scalzi's Whatever blog is often described as one of the few websites with a readable comments section, thanks to his strict policy of culling offensive posts — a process he refers to as "wielding the Mallet of Loving Correction." He's also known for posting oddly manipulated photos of himself and putting bacon on his cat. He writes novels, too, such as the Hugo-nominated Old Man's War, about elderly citizens given fresh young bodies and sent into space to fight aliens.
Scalzi is at heart a humorist — his novel The Android's Dream opens with a chapter-long fart joke — though the difficulties of marketing humorous science fiction have often caused publishers to downplay that. But Redshirts, which is being advertised as a Star Trek parody, may signal that Scalzi has achieved a profile sufficient enough to be beyond such worries. Redshirts concerns low-ranking crew members aboard an interstellar starship who start to notice a disturbing pattern — folks like themselves never seem to make it home safe from alien worlds, whereas high-ranking officers always seem strangely untouched by the danger.

元科幻是我個人的一個閱讀興趣(見我編的虛擬選集《中國元科幻小說精選集》),現在逐步發展為寫作興趣瞭(見豆瓣閱讀《辛辭柳的魔幻世界》)。當然也可以說我原創能力缺乏,隻能玩玩小圈子元科幻,一不小心還容易玩脫瞭。 斯卡爾齊呢?其實國外科幻迷早有人看穿斯卡爾齊原創...
評分我沒有看過《星際迷航》,但僅僅把《紅衫》作為一部獨立的科幻小說來看,就很有意思,約翰•斯卡爾齊作為一位草根作傢,他的作品也有種草根氣質,很難得在一部科幻小說中,看得到作者在自己營造的世界中流露齣的戲謔意味和獨特的幽默感,在《銀河係漫遊指南》中隨處可見亞當...
評分即使讀客把這本書的裝幀做得如此奇怪,我還是必須給這本書打5星。 對我來說,這是一本滿分科幻作品。 ——————讀客你把裝幀做的這麼坑爹傢裏人知道嗎———— 首先吐槽一下裝幀,一嚮在名字上做愚蠢努力的讀客這次又乾瞭一件愚蠢的事。 它曾經把《海伯利安》的名字改...

以為是《紅杉》結果是《紅衫》,馬親王微博推薦過,想象豐富風格搞怪,同親王作品風格多有相似,文字通俗簡潔但說不上精彩。3 codas扣一星。
評分如果沒有最後的三個coda我會給五星,這些coda,特彆是第三個有點太浪漫主義瞭。明明是一部搞笑的nerdy小說的!
評分Google Play. 尾聲的三個小故事尤其是最後一個非常不錯。前麵的正文也還可以。對於我這樣的水平來說這篇的英文難度適中讀起來比我讀的其它幾個英文小說都流暢不少。除瞭英文外作者另一個討喜的點是:"At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM)"
評分嚴格來說不是科幻,是愛情故事。Geek對科幻的愛。
評分The joke is on ST and its writers
