Set in the year 2054, the future is chaotic and frightening. The world is at odds, war on every scale is raging. Every story makes you think outside of the box and as each tale unfolds you find yourself imagining what if the world became this? Deep Ocean Blues reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Loved the octopods though I feel for them. The story moves slowly and I couldn't really connect with Parul. The Memory Hacker moves along more quickly; erased memories and child robots await you. I enjoyed this read. Memory hackers don't sound too far fetched when you really think about it. Melting Schmiel wasn't my favorite. The story had cool aspects. I mean imagine having to eat shotgun blasts of energy? The Camille was a great way to end the anthology. This story is out of this world and really makes you think. I'd love to read more about The Camille and it's fight. Please Colby, can I have some more? Ha! The whole anthology needs editing though. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

An interesting little novella based in a deep ocean thorium mine with a human, an AI and a bunch of OctoPods as workers: OctoPods are cyborg octopuses in case you were wondering.
It mostly explores the same theme as Blade Runner, as in, what is it to be me.
I am left thinking that there's at least a full length novel in this deep underwater world and the onshore world that supports it and squabbles over the rights. There's certainly a lot of interesting space for a novel or three to explore and fill.
Melting Shlemiel — Jason Werbeloff
An interesting allegorical novella that has as a good metaphorical dig at those who build walls of exclusion around themselves.
Set in a very pious Jewish area of Jerusalem, during 2054, it's pretty obvious who the author is pointing at and why. The Jewish state first build walls to separate and defend their country, then it's walls to separate and defend each town, then each district, then each house, until each person has their very own impregnable, permanent second skin.
Can also be read as a fun little dystopian/cyberpunk thing if you don't want to think too much. ( )
