Blurb: Out of Cuba comes an instant classic from the island's most celebrated science fiction author.
A Planet for Rent critiques life under Castro by conjuring a possible Earth of the not-so-distant future. Wracked by economic and environmental problems, the desperate planet is rescued, for better or worse, by alien colonizers, who remake it as a tourist destination. Ruled over by a brutal interstellar bureaucracy, dispossessed humans seek better lives through the few routes available-working for the colonial police; eking out a living
as black marketeers, drug dealers, or artists; prostituting themselves to extraterrestrial visitors-or face the cold void of space in rickety illegal ships.
Born José Miguel Sánchez Gómez, Yoss assumed his pen name in 1988.
He has gone on to become one of Cuba's most iconic literary figures-as the author of more than twenty acclaimed books, as a champion of science fiction through his workshops in Cuba and around the world, and as the lead singer of the heavy metal band Tenaz.“
