Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded

release date: Jan 05, 2010
Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded
On September 13, 1998, John Scalzi sat down in front of his computer to write the first entry in his blog Whatever--and changed the history of the Internet as we know it today. What, you''re not swallowing that one? Okay, fine: He started writing Whatever and amused about 15 people that first day. If that many. But he kept at it, for ten years and running. Now 40,000 people drop by on a daily basis to see what he''s got to say. About what? Well, about whatever: Politics, writing, family, war, popular culture and cats (especially with bacon on them). Sometimes he''s funny. Sometimes he''s serious (mostly he''s sarcastic). Sometimes people agree with him. Sometimes they send him hate mail, which he grades on originality and sends back. Along the way, Scalzi''s become a best-selling, award-winning author, a father, and a geek celebrity. But no matter what, there''s always another Whatever post to amuse and/or enrage his readers. Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded collects some of the best and most popular Whatever entries from the first ten years of the blog – a decade of Whatever, presented in delightfully random form, just as it should be. * Winner of the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book * Introduction by Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton Old Man''s War Series #1 Old Man’s War #2 The Ghost Brigades #3 The Last Colony #4 Zoe’s Tale #5 The Human Division #6 The End of All Things Short fiction: “After the Coup” Other Tor Books The Android’s Dream Agent to the Stars Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded Fuzzy Nation Redshirts Lock In The Collapsing Empire (forthcoming) At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Nueva edición de esta emblemática novela, ganadora del Premio Hugo 2013. El alférez Andrew Dahl acaba de ser destinado al Intrepid, buque insignia de la Unión Universal desde 2456. Es un destino de prestigio, y Andrew está más emocionado si cabe por el hecho de que lo hayan asignado al laboratorio de xenobiología de a bordo, lo que le dará la oportunidad de servir en misiones de desembarco junto a los famosos oficiales de la nave. Sus perspectivas no podrían ser mejores... hasta que Andrew empieza a comprender que cada misión de desembarco implica algún tipo de enfrentamiento letal con fuerzas alienígenas, el capitán de la nave, su oficial científico jefe y el atractivo teniente Kerensky siempre sobreviven a estos enfrentamientos, y lamentablemente, al menos uno de los tripulantes de bajo rango siempre, siempre, muere. Por tanto no sorprende que los tripulantes de las cubiertas inferiores eviten como la peste las misiones de desembarco. Y cuando Andrew tropieza con una información que transforma completamente tanto su propia visión como la de sus compañeros de lo que realmente es el Intrepid, surgirá la arriesgada oportunidad de salvar sus propias vidas. Gracias a su característico sentido del humor, John Scalzi es un referente de la ciencia ficción a nivel mundial, uno de los estandartes contemporáneos del catálogo de Minotauro. «Redshirts es tan divertida que puedes mearte encima, tan original que te sentirás como si leyeras a Philip K. Dick, y absurdamente rica en ideas y emociones. John Scalzi se propone impresionar y da en el blanco. Buena lectura y próspera vida.» — JOE HILL, autor de El traje del muerto «Puedo decir con honestidad que no recuerdo otro libro que me haya hecho reír tanto.» —PATRICK ROTHFUSS, autor de El nombre del viento «Divertida a más no poder, una maravillosa comedia. Puedes creerme: he matado a un montón de redshirts.» —MELINDA SNODGRASS, guionista de Star Trek: La nueva generación «Scalzi desmonta el universo de Star Trek y lo monta de nuevo para que resulte más plausible... Y también más hilarante.» LEV GROSSMAN, autor de Los magos"
