"Shaggy Planet" presents us with a world that's like Earth, but fluffier. The inhabitants? Think less humanoid and more like sentient shag rugs. Goulart takes the phrase "carpeted planet" quite literally in this amusing science fiction romp.
This book will delight SFcrowsnest readers who enjoy science fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously. Where else can you explore issues of interplanetary diplomacy while having to consider the thread count?
