Peter Watts – Starfish
March 3, 2013

This is the story of mentally disturbed people living on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, tending to a geothermal station. Their bodies have been altered, enabling them to withstand the pressure of the briny deep. Like any good story, things get all messed up—one lady loses her marbles, some guy dies, a pedophile goes off to live among the fish, a couple people have sex, and some sort of sentient gel starts running the show.
And one lady even appears to have Google Glass already(this book was published in 1999).
At first, I wanted to give this book a “Five Star(fish)” rating, but that was lame.
In lieu of a number or object based rating system, I’ll say this—Starfish is a good book.
