The aliens are here ... and they want municipal services! Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District—the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints—from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself.

And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office Karaoke Night.

A Hilarious and Heartfelt Dive into Galactic Bureaucracy

5 stelle

I thoroughly enjoyed this short novel. Scalzi's signature humor shines as he introduces us to a cast of quirky and memorable characters, each living in the bureaucratic maze of the Third District. Despite the short format, these characters are surprisingly well-developed.

The story expertly balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine heart, exploring themes of duty, compassion, and the challenges of representing diverse populations across the vast expanse of space. "Constituent Service" is a perfect example of Scalzi's ability to blend sharp wit, engaging characters, and thought-provoking concepts into a thoroughly entertaining read. I’m looking forward to more stories in the Third District.
