They're Made Out of Meat by Terry Bisson

This is an absolutely fantastic little story.

Like the best science fiction it takes a simple idea and explores it in a fascinating way. Perspective is everything, is it not?

If you have 5 minutes to spare I'd really recommend giving this little gem a read:

A fun short story. Reminded me of Douglas Adam's writing with far less rambling sentences (which I love btw).

Lovely. Brilliant, thought-provoking even in its very short format. Pure joy (after the books I've been reading).

3.5. I'm too scared to rate this book higher. Like, I'm laughing, but I'm also scared.

Singing meat. This is altogether too much.

My copy didn't have the creepy baby on the cover, but I don't think that would have made my reading experience any more weird. This thing was whack. Also disconcerting and kind of sad? I'm unsettled. And laughing hysterically.

I need a vacation. Or to stop reading these weird sci-fi short stories.
