I found some more excellent today thanks to Boing Boing. They had a link to a really excellent futuristic short story titled Jack’s Gift. There is so much about this story that I liked:
- The whole thing plays out as a story told by a father to his daughter as he tries to get her to go to bed.
- The story contains robotic Santas!
- There is a hint of geeky technology, but not enough to turn off the casual reader
- Excellent use of dialog
- Hope (I get this feeling after reading the story and I’m not sure why)
Anyhow, take a few moments and check out Jack’s Gift. I sure am glad I did.
