Writers of the Future XXV
Colonization will be conducted from afar. While the children will be in human bodies, the first parents will be automatons moved from back on Earth, presumably through a LeGuin ansible device.
Lilly, one of the five first children, is not disillusioned about her life. She’d rather be back on Earth instead of stuck on a planet where she’ll be expected to live as a reproductive organ although her attitude changes when forced (the communication systems go down) to protect the lives of others as her adopted father had had to save her.
A strong story.
APB-SAL is a blog about education, science, science education, fiction, science fiction, literature, literary stories, poetry, and anything else that strikes the blogger's fancy. NOTE: This blog interrogates art. It rarely make moral proclamations. For that attend the church or politician of your choice. This blog concerns aesthetics, not propaganda. Consider this as interviews with books where the interviewer presents interviewees, so you get what you need to do your own thinking.
