★★★★☆
Often, I'm a reader of simple tastes. This is a drabble, a writing exercise, 320 pages long, that cheerfully tears into bad TV show scifi. It enjoys itself, it spends most of its time not punching down. It's not high art, it's not deep, it's just straight-up fun – if you're into the meta underpinnings. Otherwise, it's probably 300 pages of tedious jokes. It made me laugh, a lot.

★★★★☆
Modern classic. Old people are made young, and if they survive two years in the interstellar war, they get a piece of land on some planet (how very Roman).
