DESCRIPTION:
A good second take on a "thinking man's Sci-Fi" title. Amazon Customer I have read both books. The original by H. Beam Piper and this I found them a nice contrast and highlight of attitudes between then and now. You will have to read the original to get the full effect. I like the contrast in the attitude between Fuzzies being cute little innocent "Children" who needed adopted for their own good for protection in a modern society. Very common post imperial self righteous smug super. JM Wilson said Fuzzy Nation ("Fuzzy Nation (20011) by John Scalzi is a good read. The story is told third person past" according to JM Wilson. Fuzzy Nation (20011) by John Scalzi is a good read. The story is told third person past tense from protagonist Jack Holloway’s point of view.

All of them were good, entertaining, but they didn’t. 0011) by John Scalzi is a good read. The story is told third person past. Fuzzy Nation ("Fuzzy Nation (20011) by John Scalzi is a good read.

This novel, Fuzzy Nation,has it all: knowable characteristics, a plot full of twists and turns, an all-to-human main character, self-interested, irreverent, and too smart for his own, or anybody else's.

Then, in the wake of an accidental cliff collapse, Jack discovers a seam of unimaginably valuable jewels, to which he manages to lay legal claim just as ZaraCorp is cancelling their contract with him for his part in causing the collapse.

But there's another wrinkle to ZaraCorp'
