If you can spare $10 please sponsor them.

Review: Orbit 2 edited by Damon Knight. The anthology that launched Gene Wolfe to greatness but doesnβt have much more going for it #sciencefiction #bookreview
www.shortsf.com/reviews/orbit2
Looking at these stories together, we find a vintage of Asimovβs dealing with Grief.
Death benefits paid to the left behind in interstellar war. Dying alone with only an A.I. as a companion. Haunting the NASA building where you used to work.
