This is my third Scalzi book and I might become a dedicated reader. I definitely want to pick up more of his books because I really enjoy his writing style and imagination. While I'm aware the plot of Fuzzy Nation isn't something he came up with entirely on his own, it still showcases his technique and talent perfectly. His books are both so easy to read in terms of flow and structure, and so nicely dense in terms of worldbuilding and plot. It's great entertainment, but smart and nerdy. They feel both light and hefty. There may be convenient plot contrivances or cliches here and there, but it doesn't feel cheap; his worlds and plots feel thought out, lived in, with well-earned twists and turns and endings.
