Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Review: 2019.509 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: It’s amusing, in a sick sort of way, that after ten years of quantum-mechanical weirdness, the best solution the narrator has for gun violence is to run.
Con: The biggest problem is that this is a message story (about gun control) and there really isn’t anything to it besides that. The magical QM portion is mildly interesting, but ends up being of no importance to the story.
