Options (novel)

''Options'' is a 1975 absurdist science fiction novel by Robert Sheckley, published in paperback by Pyramid Books. The first British edition appeared in 1977, and a French translation was published in 1979.〔(ISFDB bibliography )〕
The story is ostensibly about a marooned space traveller's attempt to get a spare part for his starship, the ''Intrepid III''. He has a robotic guard, programmed to guard him against all planetary dangers. But soon he discovers that the robot has not been programmed for the planet where they are, with comic results. However, the narrative later descends into a mass of diversions, non-sequiturs and meditations on the nature of authorship. Eventually the diversions take over the book to the extent that the author openly introduces an increasingly bizarre succession of deus ex machina in an attempt to get the novel back on track, but eventually admits defeat.
==Reception==
Spider Robinson reviewed the novel favorably, declaring that although Sheckley deliberately broke most of the rules for successful storytelling, ''Options'' was "hilarious . . . an exploding cigarette, a velvet banana, a bearded tractor, a Presbyterian platypus."〔"Galaxy Bookshelf", ''Galaxy Science Fiction'', October 1975, pp.141-42〕
