Micro Science Fiction
by O. Westin
Description
Nearly 90.000 readers have subscribed to O. Westin's Micro Science Fiction on twitter.
His short scenes and dialogues give excellent thought food on the human existence from the point of view of Aliens, AI and robots. The IT specialist's twitter account is so famous that volunteers are translating him into Russian, Italian, Scottish, Welsh, Hungarian, Polish or Japanese on separate twitter channels.
We have published the first English book edition and the first German book edition of this successful twitter account. It is an absolute avantgarde and funny must-read for all Science Fiction lovers.
Westin’s microstories capture scenes of interstellar life—transgalactic communication attempts between robots, aliens, and humans, philosophical rumination, comic relief, Siri’s emotions, and the usual pitfalls of navigating the space-time continuum.
"HUMANS WERE REPLACED."

Reviews
„That’s real science fiction. Sometimes funny, sometimes philosophical. Sci-Fi for the advanced reader.“
Marten Hahn / Deutschlandradio Kultur
„In the best of his ultra-short works, it is possible for the reader to unfold a whole small cosmos from one or two sentences.“
Nicolas Freund, Süddeutsche Zeitung
„Westin consistently uses elements of science fiction for his short stories, but condenses them and gives them poetic power.“
Bookgazette
„The latest book from Berlin’s sharp indie publishing house mikrotext not only pushes the boundaries of the terrestrial, but of science fiction itself. … Each microstory is Tardis-like in its depth and philosophical scope; their layers of interpretation radiate outwards and their paradoxes trap you in entertaining mental loops. These bitesize universes aren’t fit for digestion all at once, so space them out on an U-Bahn ride and savour each one.“
