We're the Weird Aliens
In science fiction, humans are usually boring compared to other spacefaring races: small, weak, with no claws or tentacles, and no special abilities to speak of. If we're lucky, humans have an indomitable spirit when the chips are down. Not much more than that. But what if they weren't? What if humans were the ones who all the other aliens talked about, in tones of appreciation, fear, or utter confusion? What if humans weren't the boring ones, but the weirdest things among the stars? 28 authors explore some of the many ways that we can be the talk of the cosmos.

You might even cry.' - 'If you want to meet some characters that will stay with you for, quite possibly, the rest of your life, I highly recommend this gem of a book.' - 'This is one of the most out-there-in-a-good-way stories I've ever had the honor of reading.' - 'It was a great read from open to close.'If Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had written an earnestly nerdy story in a setting running on the ridiculous logic of Scott Pilgrim, it might have come out something like this.For two oddball inventors, taking care of an unexpected new arrival - a girl from the stars - is hard enough.
