The chartered Zarathustra Company had it all their way. Their charter was for a Class III uninhabited planet, which Zarathustra was, and it meant they owned the planet lock stock and barrel. They exploited it, developed it and reaped the huge profits from it without interference from the Colonial Government. Then Jack Holloway, a sunstone prospector, appeared on the scene with his family of Fuzzies and the passionate conviction that they were not cute animals but little people.©1980 H.

Reseñas editoriales

This novel is a nostalgic classic from the 1960s. The extra-terrestrial environment in which it occurs is, like the Earth itself, a place that is colonized and exploited. Jack Holloway enters planet Zarathustra with his wards the Fuzzies, trying to secure them a home. The Fuzzies are a good metaphor for all the displaced people and animals on Earth. This vintage novel has depth; it raises questions of how sentience can be measured, and what it means to have a place in the world. Narrator Peter Ganim faithfully recites the groovy sci-fic verbiage of the book, but his sincere delivery make the listener bypass the quaint wonkiness and focus on the still-relevant questions found here. A good listen for those interested in early works of sci-fi.

I've loved this book for years, and I was afraid it would be too hard for a narrator to get all the voices right, let alone the Fuzzy "Yeek"! But this narrator does it beautifully. The one less star I gave him was actually for the narrative portions, which are a bit stiff and articulated slowly, but it's not enough to dent my enjoyment.

A classic with all the voices done right

This is the original book that John Scalzi used to write Fuzzy Nation. I absolutely LOVED Fuzzy Nation and this is really good but probably not quite as good as Scalzi's version. I loved hearing this as there are so many funny advanced science thoughts by the author that miss. Still Tape Recordings and stuff like that but also faster than light travel. Totally worth a listen.

Fantastic

Developing video, sending video at a 60x rate, and other imaginings about the future from 1962.I guess digital wasn't even an idea at that date. What do with think of as normal today that will sound silly in another 60 years? A really excellent story with a positive spin. The audio was a bit clunky at bits where you would hear a cut-over or a sound that didn't belong, but it wasn't bad enough to distract, so I couldn't bring myself to take a star away. If you have Audible Plus, this is a non-brainer. Get the story and listen to it. If you don't have audible plus, get it anyway. It was nice to read a story where the avarice and failings of men, companies, and governments were recognized without negating the positives that men, companies, and governments provide.

A blast from the past

Not a bad story, but narrator's voice and timing are robotic and stilted. Struggled to finish.

A difficult listen.

This is such a cute story and I loved reading it and comparing it to the spin off Scalze did!

Must compare with John Scalzes version

Classic sci-fi I have read and reread this novel more times than I can count and most recently I added the Audiobook which was just a delight to listen through. Aging Jack Holloway is a gem miner on a frontier world going about his lonely life when one day a furry short but friendly alien wanders into his homestead. This chance encounter changes his life and the destiny of the Fuzzy people forever.

Classic Sci-Fi

The plot is delightfully simple - the Protagonist - a good, old, hardworking lone underdog finds adorable little furry people. Old man keeps little furry people, old man trys to get little furry people recognized as sapient life forms. The Antagonist - a heartless CEO of corporation doesn't want adorable little furry people recognized as sentient life form because the corporation would have to give up the claim for the planet. Heartless CEO hires an equally heartless lawyer to help him with the case. But Jack Holloway - good old hardworking space cowboy - also has friends - scientists, who put Science above personal interests, constable, who puts Law above his own interests, honest lawyer in a plaid shirt, and together they drop whatever they normally do to help the old man with his court case against corporation - good chunk of the story happens either in court or discussing case strategies.

Written in 1963, this story is a product of it's time, when space colonization was imagined like colonization of the West. I personally find the idea of treating burgeoning hunter-gather civilization like children or pets because they are cute by human standards uncomfortable. The science, especially the psychology, is noticeably dated as well.

While the story is a little too naive and black-and-white for my liking, in the light of the recent events - Enron, Monsanto, big banks bail-outs and so on - it is definitely a guilty pleasure to see big players being held accountable by just and impartial judge, even if it's only Sci-Fi.

Good guy underdog vs heartless corporation

I listened to this because it's the original story that John Scalzi used in his Fuzzy Nation book. I understand why Scalzi wanted to rewrite it. It's a great story but needed updating so current readers could appreciate it. There's a lot of sexism, smoking, and drinking.

What I didn't like: the narrator. He has some great voices but his narrator's voice sounds like an AI auto reading. It was very off-putting and I almost quit listening. However, the story redeemed itself and I couldn't stop till I finished. I did almost look for the print version though!

Not to diss the narrator completely, he is very talented and he had a different voice for each character, so I always knew who was speaking even before the story told me. I wasn't thrilled with his Jack Holloway voice but I knew who it was anyway while listening. It was only there narration that bothered me.

Read this, then read John Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation. You won't be disappointed.

Weird narration

I loved the story, the plot, the underlined messages, the narration and especially - the fuzzy's!
Some stuff is bizzar - like the Cigar smoking every where, or the Guns - i mean, the humanity has reached other solar systems and set their foot on earth like planets - and yet, using rifles with bullets... but this is nonsense compared to the Fabulous story.

Fabulous old fashion SciFi
