?Peponi Is a Mess, and I Loved It?

The planet is a metaphor, a cautionary tale, and a bureaucratic disaster zone. Baker?s world-building is as clever as his punchlines.

?A Morality Play in Zero Gravity?

Baker doesn?t preach?he provokes. The ethical debates are gripping, and the humor keeps it all from collapsing under its own weight.

?The Funniest Book About Colonialism I?ve Ever Read?

It?s absurd, it?s uncomfortable, and it?s brilliant. Intermission made me laugh and squirm in equal measure.

?Tea, Tension, and Terrible Decisions?

The meetings that could?ve been emails? Iconic. This book skewers diplomacy, ethics, and human arrogance with style.

?Diplomacy Has Never Been So Funny?

Bureaucracy in space? Yes please. Baker turns red tape into high art, and Peponi is the most hilariously tragic planet I?ve ever visited.
