From this week's Onion:

OREGON CITY, OR—Science-fiction author Morgan Richards announced Monday completion of his long-awaited novel, Zeppelins Of Phobos. The swashbuckling tale of the battle for control of the solar system depicts a terrifying future filled with virtually indistinguishable characters who only communicate through stilted and shallow dialogue.

Science-Fiction Novel Posits Future Where Characters Are Hastily Sketched

Interesting. It sounds like a 'library check-out' book rather than a 'must buy' though.

Take care -
