Space Opera

Absurdity, social satire, lots of music references, and a fast read that still feels like a wall of words at times. In the same vein as Hitchhikerās Guide to the Galaxy and Year Zero (though in this case humans are the worst musicians in the galaxy). Fun, though itās got some dark moments. The world isnāt totally awesome or totally awful, itās both: Everything is messy, and you can find the sublime in chaos.
