Tk’tk’tk is a science fiction short story written in 2005 by David D. Levine.
The story is about a penniless human salesman trying to sell software on an alien planet populated by giant, intelligent, impersonal yet very humble insects, many light years from Earth. The main character, Walker, has trouble with everything from his ability to sell his computer systems and gadgets, to paying for his hotel and participating in the local religious holiday. In the end he finds a uniquely spiritual restaurant that changes his life.
Tk’tk’tk won the 2006 Hugo Award for Best Short Story.
