Starfish, by Peter Watts

Sweet lard and heavenly butter! Tor.com has just released the latest in their series of weekly free books, and it's a Peter Watts novel! And this is after they just released the Karl Schroeder novel Sun of Suns a couple of weeks ago.

Don't worry if you're not into intellectual science fiction. They put out a lot of free books that tickle various brain reward structures, so you're sure to get something you want. It's not always for me, it's not always for you, but it will dispense the distillation of pure Awesome every third pull of the slot machine. Unlike slot machines, it costs you nothing. You should sign up right now.

Thank you, Tor! You're my favorite non-audio publisher!

Now to take the text of Starfish and convert it through readthewords.com.
