Which of the following is true? Peter Watts is banned from the U.S. Watts almost died from flesh-eating bacteria. A schizophrenic man living in Watts's backyard almost set his house on fire. Watts was raised by Baptists who really sucked at giving presents.Peter Watts said to read this book. Or else. In more than fifty unpredictable essays and revenge fantasies, Peter Watts - Hugo Award-winning author, former marine biologist, and angry sentient tumor - is the savage dystopian optimist whom you can't look away from. Even when you probably should.

Peter Watts is a science-fiction novelist who used to work as a marine biologist. His first Rifters novel, Starfish, was a New York Times Notable Book, and his second novel, Blindsight, has become a required text in undergraduate classes ranging from philosophy to neuroscience, and was a nominee for multiple North American genre awards.
