Iamgmm@bookwyrm.social reviewed Redshirts by John Scalzi
Postmodernism at its finest
4 stars
An excellent piece of postmodern literature, with a good share of self-irony without which postmodern can't exist.

The book was published by Tor Books in June 2012. The audiobook of the novel is narrated by Wil Wheaton.

An excellent piece of postmodern literature, with a good share of self-irony without which postmodern can't exist.
Layers and layers of (mostly) fun and thought provoking reading.
Most importantly: DRM-Free
