The nine short science fiction stories comprising Cory Doctorow's Place So Foreign And 8 More aren't your ordinary everyday tales: it was on the strength of this collection that Doctorow was awarded the John W. Campbell Award for best new science fiction writer, challenging the boundaries of science fiction and detailing worlds which are new and different, from a 19th century Huck Finn in love with Jules Verne's fiction to alien friends obsessed with American ephemera. Thoughtful and often funny are these powerful nine short stories.
