The most successful and controversial Cuban science fiction writer of all time, Yoss (aka José Miguel Sánchez Gómez) is known for his acerbic portraits of the island under Communism. In his best-selling A Planet for Rent, Yoss pays homage to Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and 334 by Thomas M. Disch. A critique of Cuba in the 90s, after the fall of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, A Planet for Rent marks the debut in English of an astonishingly brave and imaginative Latin American voice.

Excellent taste of a recent sci fi outsider. A planet for rent is an excellent but depressing outlook on the depravities of humanity.

Depressing but poignant

Incredible. Don’t read this cause you wanna say you’ve read Cuban sci-fi. Read this because it’s brilliant. I had zero expectations for this and came in totally blind. Yoss expertly takes the prison planet hypothesis to the Fermi paradox and turns it up to 11. I want more books in this series.

More than just prison planet Cuban sci-fi!
