Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The final delivery was a surprise, but totally consistent. It's an excellent example of a story with an "aha" moment. Very satisfying (if chilling) little story. No real software could be this good, of course, but the what-if doesn't have to be 100% achievable.
Con: It's a short-short, so it's rather limited in what it has to say.
