The very fine and very meta How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu is poised to become a classic in the Sci-Fi genre. Already Yu is a finalist for the John W. Campbell award this year in addition to How To Live Safely being a finalist for the Locus First Novel award. So a lot of people are wondering what he'll be doing next. According to Publisher's Marketplace he just sold a new short story collection titled Sorry Please Thank You to his publisher Pantheon as well as his next novel titled Trilogy: A Novel. More meta anyone? No other details have been released such as publication time or even a brief synopsis. The title does bring to mind Fantasy immediately albeit an ambitious one. It would be quite interesting to see Yu do for Fantasy what he did for Sci-Fi. Also, for those of you who have been waiting for the paperback of How to Live Safely it will be out June 28th sporting the above cover.

This one of those books I keep picking up in bookshops but I haven't yet shelled out for a copy. After reading your review however I'll be popping into my basket for sure! Going to wait for the new cover though cos it's totally adorable!
Nice. It is a very surreal ride.
