"The Things" by Peter Watts
New SF from Peter Watts: "The Things". It's John Carpenter's The Thing reimagined from the monster's point of view, à la John Gardner's Grendel.
It's better than Grendel, better than the classic John W. Campbell novella Carpenter based the movie on, better than the movie. 7,000 words of pure balls-out hard-edge Weird. It will leave marks on your brain. It's among the very best SF I've ever read. Go read it.
That is, if you "get" SF. Some don't.
Via.

klier ftac!
The plastic soda bottle was invented by Nathaniel Wyeth, son of the great illustrator N. C. Wyeth.
Actually, he was better than great. He was... Cugat.
