Like the others here I don’t understand celebrating a story in which characters just shrug their shoulders and do what it seems like they have no choice but to do.
Getting out of a scrape that seems inescapable, saving the girl that it seems can’t be saved, now that’s a good story.
I like Cory’s essay though. Davin Brin has been ringing this bell for a while, warning us against the dreary dystopic visions that pervade the best seller lists.
