Fatalistic and darkly funny, this imaginative collection by Japanese punk sci-fi icon Izumi Suzuki deals in ambivalence and disaffection in all directions (and on all planets). Originally written in the 1980s, these stories feel particularly prescient in our current age of burnout and isolation, but that doesn't make them any less of a good time. ~ Reviewed by Gwyn Sise
