Coffee. Questions. Catastrophes-politely discussed.

A future-person named Pffffft turns up in a university hallway, and a professor invites them for a cup. What follows are brisk, caffeinated chats about intergalactic ecology, culture wars fought with Acceptance, a not-entirely-friendly slime of the stars, and a custodial firm that tidies orbits by removing the ability to make messes. The tone is bright, the chapters are short, and the ideas are wild yet clear. Part comic philosophy, part cozy sci-fi, this book lets you eavesdrop as two people test reality without breaking the mug.

Coffee Chats with a Future-Person is speculative fiction for readers who have thought about what home means when the universe is very large. It is warm, wry, and hopeful, even when the topics are not. Read one chatter, look out the window, and notice the world again.
