"Sam's going to another planet to teach English, where he hopes to earn enough creds to pay off his student loan and maybe buy a jetpack. He's not entirely comfortable with spreading the English virus but it beats working for the powerbrokers on Earth, and Octavia is a dreamy underwater planet populated by eight-armed beings." "He ends up learning more than teaching. From Mr. Zik, a singer of melancholy songs. From a boxy robot called 9/3. And from Jinya, whose undulating tentacles make Sam forget all about human appendages." Against the colorful backdrop of kitsch science fiction, this novel entwines UFOs with STDs, androids with androgyny, and youth culture with culture shock. Leave your millennial angst behind - blast off to 2959!
