“Reading Delany is like pop rocks for the brain. He scintillates. Things sparkle and explode all over, and it’s not entirely comfortable but it is quite wonderful” – Jo Walton, Reactor Magazine
“extremely subtle … and enigmatic … first rate scifi” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars
“[A] profound mediation on how drastically sophisticated information technology might impact … complex societies” – Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars
The only survivor when his home is utterly destroyed, Rat Korga is transported to a new life on the planet Velm.
Escaping a society that suppressed and enslaved him, Korga joins a vast, rich interstellar culture. He finds himself sharing a world with Marq Dyeth, Korga’s perfect partner, or so this civilization’s officials have calculated… to about seven decimal places.
Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is a stunning, many-layered science fiction masterpiece, an essay on the inexplicability of sexual attractiveness, and an examination of interstellar politics among far-flung worlds.
