It’s only two weeks before an asteroid turns home to dust. On the eve of Earth’s destruction, a young scientist discovers something too precious to lose, in a story of cataclysm and hope. The synopsis of the whole collection is short and sweet: Six visionary writers explore the far-reaching effects of tech breakthroughs. Doesn’t hurt to broaden my horizons a little, right? I’m not usually drawn to science-fiction or even short stories for that matter, but when I saw Veronica Roth and Andy Weir were participating, and that every story was short enough to be read in one sitting, I figured I would give it a go. Author and screenwriter Blake Crouch asked some of his favourite dystopian writers to contribute to this project, all about technology and the future… and it’s terrifying, to a degree. This one is going to be a little different for me because I’m reviewing a collection of short stories.
