Description: "A must for Nivenites and just plain good reading for everyone else."--BooklistonThe Draco Tavern "There are wise elder races and there are scamsters and folks who raise interesting questions. In some ways, the object-lesson stories remind one of pundits' political columns'. Thought provoking.--San Diego Union-TribuneonThe Draco Tavern "Brilliant . . . These stories are best taken a few at a time to savor their inventiveness."--Publishers WeeklyonThe Draco Tavern "Reads more like an episodic novel'. There's joy and sadness and everything in between in these stories--which seem to have devised as vehicles for Niven to explore a wide variety of ideas and also happen to be about what it means to be human. One of the ways in which we learn about who we are is to see what we are not, and in this book there are many examples of what humans are not."--Romantic Times BookclubonThe Draco Tavern
