![]() ![]() I also liked the willingness to forge on and keep trying a civilized society.Īrtie's Angels by Catherine Wells - Here's to Artie D'Angelo, a king among couriers of B9. A bio-attack destroys the world but systems admin Felix still forges on. When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth by Cory Doctorow - I very much enjoyed this one. After the collapse, rural towns are mere outposts and one character has been awaiting the return of the airship Zephyr to make her escape. Buckell - I really enjoyed this one and felt it was just too short. How We Got In Town and Out Again by Jonathan Lethem - Bleak story of a sort of travelling VR carnival of the carnal that arrives in a town and how the two main characters get in and ultimately away from it. Rickert - A very good story about a world where fear of "the other" is the catalyst for a surprising end. This is a hellscape with post-humans and one of the more other-worldly stories in the book. The People of Sand & Slag by Paolo Baciagalupi - Actually more disturbing than enjoyable. ![]() ![]() The End of The Whole Mess by Stephen King - A very sad story in which a brother relates how his brilliant sibling ruined humanity with an unintended eco-catastrophe with biological fallout. There were 22 stories and as with all anthologies, some resonate more than others. I 've had this on my shelf for years and finally pulled it from my bookshelf to read. Title: Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse by John Joseph Adams ![]()
