Nice short story that accomplishes pretty much everything you could want for 35 pages. There were a few quotes I loved, but I can't believe the writers still managed to cram a primate reference into such a short story. Seriously though.
Sorry to mix technobabble, but the only way to read this short story is with inertial dampers on.
Clever, but literally nightmarish.
James SA Corey usually balances creepiness and big ideas with humour. Not in this one. Very thought provoking and terrifying.
Do not make my mistake. Do not read before sleeping.
It was nice to get a little backstory on the technology that made their future possible and get a little glimpse into the ancient (to the rest of the stories) politics between Mars and Earth. I wished it was longer.
