Read Vina Jie-Min Prasad’s “A Series of Steaks”
This week’s story is a delicious (haha) caper. Seriously: our main character is forging steak. It’s really clever near-future SF story which relies on interesting and charming characters to talk about the future, which makes it my favourite kind of sci-fi. It’s also pretty long, sorry about that.
“A Series of Steaks” was published in Clarkesworld in January of 2017, was nominated for a whole bucket of awards, and was reprinted in Gardner Dozois’s The Year’s Best Science Fiction .
