Di Filippo Rules The School

You need to read this book. If you don't, you should just go back to living in a cave of your own self-imposed isolation. Di Filippo manages to take crazed, madman thoughts and make brilliantly constructed views of the human mind. Reading them is easy as they are rock and roll on the printed page, but at the same time they will stay with you for generations.

A collection of popcorn for the brain sci-fi short stories

Paul Di Filippo has collected several of his sci-fi short stories with rock and roll undertones. Combining music, hard sci-fi concepts, and everyday average or below average people (some of which do live in a trailer park, hense trailer park sci-fi)is not an easy task, but Di Filipo pulls it off nicely. The stories are fast pased, light, and whimsical. Perfect for a lunch break.
