Michele Lee reviewed Apex Digest #9 which has my story “Locked In.”
Locked In by Mary Robinette Kowal is a nasty bit of text wedged into this issue. The other stories were safe, but this one is downright dangerous. The hazard comes, not from technology spinning out of control, but people’s faith in technology being far misplaced. The true evil is in the people, not the tool. The darkness in this piece snuck up on me. This one is a powerful, short piece, not to be missed.
Someday, I hope you decide to publish a collection of your works. I hear there’s not a lot of money in a collection, but wouldn’t it be nice to corral all these lovely stories into one place?!
Congratulations on such a lovely review, spectacular, really.
Thank you! I should probably try to get the novel sold first.
This story was short but not sweet.
The only thing better would be for you to record it.
