The Fuzzy PapersRecently, I read The Fuzzy Papers, by H. Beam Piper. In the book, a man named Jack Holloway finds a little furry creatures in the forests of the planet Zarathustra. He names the creatures Fuzzies. The creature seems to be intelligent, but when the local charter company finds out about the creatures, they are out to disprove the claims of Fuzzy sapience. This book is actually two separate books: Little Fuzzy and Fuzzy Sapiens. The majority of the book is about laws, politics, and science... but this is space laws, politics, and science! Yay! This book is awesome when it comes to a science-fiction story that actually makes you think. It questions if we really can know if something is an intelligent creature or not, and the author really writes about it well. And, if that isn't good enough, Fuzzies are awesome. 9 stars out of 10. Huzzah!
