Re:union
I was born twice, but the first time wasn’t my choice. In fact I don’t remember anything about it. The second time, now that’s a different story. It began with a game.

Great Sci Fi Short for a Great Price,
I love how the Kindle helps me find new authors. I’m not a huge fan of short stories, but I really liked how Eric Liu was able to create interesting characters, an interesting world, and an even more interesting situation in such few pages (or Kindle “locations”). Re:union is a nice little twist on the typical apocalyptic sci fi story. I’m glad I ran into this.

|An enjoyable short story,
Short stories are always difficult and this one deals with themes that have been explored on numerous occasions, however this short story takes a different approach. After a disease that devastated food production there was not enough food to support the population. The main character of the story Troy is looking for his lost love Michelle in what is called “SymSpace”. SymSpace is where a vast amount of the population have been “converted” to and “live” in SymSpace, others like Troy can visit Symspace as long as they can afford it. The beginning of the story is quite confusing but it soon becomes clear what is happening.
An enjoyable short story.

|Personal and existential in a tiny little package,
I liked Eric Liu’s novel, Terrene: the hidden valley so I picked this up too.
This is a great little story that manages to deal with a catastrophic event with some pretty crazy results without being too obvious or direct about it. Great read.
