SUMMARY:"Little Fuzzy" by H. Beam Piper
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\, \nBook of the Month\n*Little Fuzzy* – H. Beam Piper (1962) \nThis is going to be a fun one! We have read a few first contact and alien encounter novels during 2022 and this is one that came up during our meetings a number of times. What may seem at first look like a Disney-friendly kid’s story\, is actually a heart-felt novel about sentience\, corporate greed\, and alien contact. \nThere is a lot of love out there for this series of novels known as “The Fuzzy Sapien Saga”. From what I hear\, however\, the first chapter in the series does still operate well as a standalone story. One bit of cautionary advice comes from the website [sfreviews.net](http://www.sfreviews.net/piper_little_fuzzy.html): “*Little Fuzzy* is a delight\, as long as you’re aware you’re in for cuteness by the trowel.” They also note that “…Little Fuzzy is emphatically *science* fiction…” so don’t worry\, we’re not getting cuteness in place of sci fi. More info on this Hugo-nominated novel [here at Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1440148.Little_Fuzzy)\, as well. \nEnjoy and we look forward to seeing you in September!\nA reminder that you do not necessarily need to read the book to join us for our Zoom meeting. Hop on in and hang out! Ask questions or just get the vibe. All are welcome 🙂 \nCheers\,\nJon
