Pump Six and Other Stories [Paperback]

• Contains works about mind pump, village pump, monster pump, mind pump media, bull pump, orbit USA pump, and other pumps books
• Debut collection of Nebula award-winning author Paolo Bacigalupi
• Demonstrates the power and range of the science fiction short story

From the author of the Ship Breaker Series comes a collection of eleven short science fiction stories. Social criticism, environmental advocacy, and political parable are at the core of Paolo’s work. Each tale is simultaneously a warning and a celebration of the tragic comedy that is the human experience. These eleven stories represent the best of Bacigalupi’s work. They include the Hugo nominee “Yellow Card Man,” the Sturgeon Award-winning story “The Calorie Man,” and the Nebula- and Hugo-nominated story “The People of Sand and slag.” Readers of Ted Chiang and Kelly Link will enjoy this collection.
