"The five of us were gathered on the floor of one of the last houses"
House Traveler, by Thomas Ha
Narrator: Preston Buttons
Host: Scott Campbell
Audio: Chelsea Davis
This story first appeared in Bourbon Penn #34 and is reprinted in Thomas Ha’s debut collection, Uncertain Sons and Other Stories
The original story purports to highlight the realities of space travel but the science is utterly bogus. The author uses pseudoscience to justify the murder of a young woman for the crime of being female. The "cold equations" in the story are not physics but the calculus of power and dominance.

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.
