Luke Rhinehart holds a PhD in Literature from Columbia University and has been a university professor. He is the author of nine novels, including the influential cult-classic The Dice Man, one of the most acclaimed novels of the second half of the 20th century. He lives in New England.
"Rhinehart’s SF satire adeptly bounces back and forth between radically silly and serious, never going overboard in either direction, on its way to a potentially deadly but entertaining showdown between fun and tyranny." —Publisher's Weekly, on the English-language edition
"Rhinehart’s exploration of the human condition and its myriad flaws through Louie’s unique take on it is delightful, and fans of globe-hopping,madcap fun with a razor-sharp side dose of political and societal satire will gobble up this absurdist treat." —Booklist, on the English-language edition

Tapa Dura. Condition: New. La familia Morton adopta a una extraña criatura, redonda y peluda, que apareció insospechadamente en el fondo de su barquito de pesca. Lo bautizan como Louie y se convierte en una mascota adorable y cariñosa. Los Morton pronto descubren que Louie tiene una inteligencia asombrosa, que es capaz, a través del ordenador doméstico, de entrar en los sistemas del estado, de robar miles de datos y desactivar las armas nucleares. Louie cambia de forma y se ríe de todo el mundo: Louie es la avanzadilla de una especie invasora que ha llegado a la tierra para? ¡tomarnos el pelo! 'La invasión de las bolas peludas' es una de las novelas más divertidas de los últimos cincuenta años y, al mismo tiempo, una auténtica carga de profundidad contra el sistema.
