David Marusek’s debut collection, Getting to Know You, just received the following starred review from Publishers Weekly: “Marusek, in a blurb for this superb collection of 10 stories (all the shorter SF he’s published to date), gives fair warning when he says he lays his stories ‘like traps and bait[s] them with shiny ideas…’ Marusek’s ’shiny ideas’—cloned laborers, electronic ‘proxies,’ the ’boutique economy’—sparkle, but these assured stories also draw on core SF themes: in the face of change, what does it mean to be human, and where do we draw the line between helping ourselves and hurting others?”

Color us more than a little bit pleased.
