A fairly routine issue, with stories by : Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Chris Beckett, Elizabeth Bear, Steve Rasnic Tem, Ian McHugh, Gwendolyn Clare.
It’s not SF by any means, and doesn’t really convince in its setting, with little colour or texture to make the reader feel that the story is set in India
It’s a short story, with a bit of a Mad Max vibe about it, the tone not entirely succesful.
Phew! Finished off the stories in Dozois’ take on the best of 2009, just in time to address the soon to be published year’s bests for 2010.
An original story from the ‘Cyberad Days’ collection which neatly puts a seal on this story sequence, whilst potentially opening up a whole new ball game.
An intriguing story, one that you read and want to think about, and then re-read.
Clever story which looks at whether you can trust the world that is shown through the lens of a screen, and whether you are simply a character on someone else’s screen.
An excellent story in it’s own right, and intriguing in the light of the few other stories by Wright that I’ve reviewed.
