I really enjoyed the stories in this issue. It’s my first time reading this magazine and I’m looking forward to reading the other issues. I’ve written more thoughts for each story below.
“A Prototype of Yourself” by Albert Chu
“offers a nuanced exploration of therapy and technology” – I really liked how this one showed while while some things are well intended they can still do more harm than good.
“Colossus” by Samir Sirk Morató
“is a visceral dream of obliteration in a wild landscape” – this one go a bit dark in the end but it was still an interesting read.
“The Flame In You” by L. Nabang
“traces the damage caused by gender norms” – I thought this one was interesting and I liked the way everything was done. I ended up feeling sad for everyone involved
“Two Times I Looked Through The Eye Of The Universe, And The One Time I Became It” by Yasmeen Amro
“takes us on a journey across space and beyond reality” – I thought this one as a really interesting concept.
