Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Review: 2020.101 (A Word for Authors)

Pro: Although it describes how the narrator lost her sister—long before she actually died—this story describes a relatively optimistic future, where the world is getting cleaned up, and advances in high tech continue to happen.

Con: The stupid, selfish little sister who had all the advantages in the world yet threw them away is hard to care about.
