Options is a 1975 absurdist science fiction novel by Robert Sheckley. The story is ostensibly about a marooned space traveller's attempt to get a spare part for his ship, however the narrative soon descends into a mass of diversions, non-sequiturs and meditations on the nature of authorship.
Representive quote:
- Mishkin wondered what a spaceship looked like. What could you compare a spaceship to? Itself? "The spaceship looked utterly like itself." ... He decided to buy a toy spaceship and describe that.
