Description
"The Fermi is the Earth's first and last faster-than-light spaceship. The last, because it turns out its engine vaporises entire star systems in its wake. And nobody knows how to turn it off."
The Fermi's faster-than-light engines have destroyed the Earth, and an alien Dyson sphere, and its crew still have no idea how to switch it off. What's worse, as they reach a planet of sentient fungus, their supplies are already running low.
But this world has its own problems. People have been losing their souls, with the survivors huddling together in abandoned shopping malls as society falls apart. And when the Fermi's crew arrive they will discover something that will challenge their very idea of what it is to be human.
"Fermi's Progress is fresh, fun SF with a dark conceit, dangerous thought experiments, thrilling action adventures, and lots of wit and warmth." Ken MacLeod
"Simultaneously a tribute to the classic TV SF 'planet of the week' format and a very literal demolition job of the same - and so smart that it's never afraid to be silly. Brilliant stuff." Nate Crowley, author of Notes from Small Planets
"Clever and strange, genre-bending and darkly funny, it'll take you on a ride between myriad times and places, Fermi's Paradox observed through the lens of interstellar call-centres like it was the grim spawn of The Dark Forest and Hitchhiker's Guide, or the fleshy junction of Alien, Embassytown, and Office Space." Andrew Skinner, author of Steel Frame
