2021 SFF - Clarkesworld Jul-Dec
Feb. 19th, 2022 07:48 pmSomeday I am going to say "Clar-kez-world" out loud with my human mouth (instead of just thinking it to myself so I remember the E) and someone is going to look at me funny. Or possibly this has already happened and I just haven't noticed, or don't remember? Anyways.
Preserved in Amber, Samantha Murray, Clarkesworld. Alien contact, and aphantasia, and life and death and having children. Really really good. NOVELETTE
A Heist in Fifteen Products from the Orion Spur's Longest-Running Catalog, Andrea M. Pawley, Clarkesworld. This is basically an extended joke about the Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog in space (Tollnacher Stimmacher, here), but at 3820 words it's the right length for that joke.
Yesterday's Wolf, Ray Nayler, Clarkesworld. Takes us past the inevitable endpoint of those Boston Dynamics dogbots and into the aftermath.
Dark Waters Still Flow, Alice Towey, Clarkesworld. A water processing plant and a water engineer. This is nice.
The Language Birds Speak, Rebecca Campbell, Clarkesworld. A mom and her language-delayed child and a promising study. Campbell builds this up so well. NOVELETTE
You Are Born Exploding, Rich Larson, Clarkesworld. Another mom and a child and a virus. Heartbreaking. NOVELETTE A content note and a spoiler behind the cut. ( Read more... )
