Justina Robson. Pwnage. (Twelve Tomorrows)
Well-handled story set in the mind of young woman when such minds are more permanently connected to the interwebs.
Justina Robson. Cracklegrackle. (New Space Opera 2)
Excellent exploration of confusion, alienation, and spiralling downwards into mental distress.
‘Fast Forward 1’ ed Lou Anders, pub Pyr 2007
An excellent collection of short SF. Several made it to the various Year’s Best collections, and a couple of others which were not selected would not have looked out of place. The volume starts well, is strong in the middle, and ramps up to a strong finish.
