Like A Boss: "

Like A Boss is

Like A Boss is a laugh-in-your-face rejection of grimdark cynicism and cyberpunk dystopia. It's a flag-waving, singing-out-loud

It's a celebration of hope and trust and community. I loved it." –

X + 1"It's gloriously entertaining SF. Better yet, it's

positive, hopeful, idealistic SF." –
