Also, unrelated, but if you want to absolutely lose yourself in improbably engrossing story about a man and his ex-girlfriend’s cat as they desperately survive against a murderous intergalactic corporate gameshow, you should buy all of these books right now. You will be laughing and crying and suddenly realize you want to smash the system. These are incredible wine-drinking books. I recommend pairing this series with “If Eventually, Why Not Now.”
