"...witty, wise, and hysterically funny. This is an instructional manual for every SF/F/H situation in which you might find yourself ... rivals The Hitchhiker's Guide series for sheer comic brilliance ... highest recommendation ... still laughing."--Judy Comeau, Creature Feature
"...it would be hard to deny that Boston has covered the territory [of list poems] more thoroughly and well than anybody else in the genre ... this is a good book. The poems, like all good poems, don't need explanations, because they already tell their tales in the most concise and clear way possible."--David Kopaska-Merkel, Star*Line
SIGNS YOUR PARENTS ARE BEING REPLACED BY AUTOMATONS
* * * *
They keep saying the same things over and over again.
* * * *
More and more of their body parts are made from plastic or metal.
* * * *
They have started voting the straight Republican ticket.
* * * *
Their movements are slow and mechanical; they often rock even when they are not sitting in a rocking chair.
