Into each generation of science fiction/fantasydom a master absurdist must fall, and it’s quite possible that with ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY (Tor/Tom Doherty, $25.99), Charlie Jane Anders has established herself as the one for the Millennials… 

It’s complex, and scary, and madcap, but isn’t that what life is like now, for people who finish school with their futures mortgaged and their dreams pre-measured? Amid endless wars and environment-destroying pipelines and elitist think tanks that either do nothing or might bring about the quantum collapse of reality, Anders seems to say, there’s really not much anyone can do but laugh — and persevere. The result is as hopeful as it is hilarious, and highly recommended.
