Redshirts by John Scalzi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A very entertaining book!
It has a very strange story - actually, strange is the wrong word, it’s a *wild* story. It’s wild, crazy, mad! And it’s a lot of fun!
On top of all that, it has a serious philosophical discussion on the nature of reality, perception, and the anthropic principle; in this aspect, it’s like the Matrix movie, in that it manages to add some real philosophical questions to your entertainment.
And just when you think it’s all resolved, when you think that the meta-story has been told, you realize there are still a lot of pages left, and then you go up another level into another meta-meta-story, and who know how deep this thing goes. And *then* things go even further the deep end!
