*snicker* Book comparisons
So I was reading along in The Road to Mars, wondering why I found it so familiar. Then I realized --
-- it reminds me of William Shatner's Tek series. It's got the not-quite-cyberpunk future, the over-the-top plot, a less-than-reliable narrator-person, wacky robots... only Idle put far less cheese on than Shatner did, making it actually possible to taste the comedy. It's also, so far, much less dark.
