Fantastic, funny, and surprisingly moving and deep
On one level, this is just a funny tale exploring the lives - and excruciating deaths - of the throwaway extras on bad tv shows. But Scalzi uses that to explore questions of identity, meaning, and purpose in life. It's both very readable and very thought provoking.
