A wonderfully fun John Scalzi book featuring big monsters who are similar to dinosaurs but not quite. Set during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, we follow Jamie Gray as he loses his job at a startup, reluctantly takes a job delivering food for an Uber competitor, and is recruited by a former acquaintance for a mysterious job taking care of large animals. Jamie's background as a PhD candidate in science fiction provides wonderfully meta commentary on the whole situation. Just a fun read.
