“"Macaroni Art in the Age of Filtration" by Ryan Cole ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a really sad story, and if I may say so, not a great way to start this issue of the magazine, because it made it hard for me to get into the other stories. But it was a good story. "D0G" by Tania Fordwalker ⭐️⭐️⭐️ And yet another sad story—and a particularly cruel, even bloody one at that. Although the colorful, candy-colored robot dogs were kind of funny, even if their purpose—to wipe out humanity—is particularly barbaric. "The Trajectory of Memory is Forward" by Rajeev Prasad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another not-so-rosy outlook on humanity’s possible future. Hard to grasp at first, and then completely shocking in the way the plot unfolds. Very well written. "Eternity in Their Hearts" by K. J. Khan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An android becomes Liam’s end-of-life companion. That was deeply moving. His sister, that bitch, questions the android’s significance and is especially mean. I think the story is extremely good and really well written. There’s so much packed into just a few pages here. "Shelter" by Nadia W. Aldsen ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This story is really bizarre. What made me laugh were the excerpts from the employment contract—there were some disturbing things in there. Let’s hope something like that never becomes our future. "The Forgetting Code" by Malena Salazar Maciá ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This, too, is about the loss of loved ones and how technology can help preserve their memory—or let go of it. The question of whether one wants to remember and carry that pain around is counterbalanced by the idea that something new can emerge from memory. Interesting. "Human Studies 401" by Abby Nicole Yee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Super short and absolutely perfect. Even though it’s actually a grim story about the future of humanity, it had me laughing hysterically.”
