## Description

" Reading Delany is like pop rocks for the brain. He scintillates. Things sparkle and explode all over, and it's not entirely comfortable but it is quite wonderful" - Jo Walton, Reactor Magazine " extremely subtle ... and enigmatic ... first rate scifi" - Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars "[A] profound mediation on how drastically sophisticated information technology might impact ... complex societies" - Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars The only survivor when his home is utterly destroyed, Rat Korga is transported to a new life on the planet Velm. Escaping a society that suppressed and enslaved him, Korga joins a vast, rich interstellar culture. He finds himself sharing a world with Marq Dyeth, Korga's perfect partner, or so this civilization's officials have calculated... to about seven decimal places. Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is a stunning, many-layered science fiction masterpiece, an essay on the inexplicability of sexual attractiveness, and an examination of interstellar politics among far-flung worlds.
