Review by: Ben A. Bell on June 28, 2011 :
As a New Yorker, this story had me at the title. Reading on, I found clever lines, economical prose, and brilliant black humor wrapped up in a fast-paced, sharp SF story. In short, it was terrific.

Foreshadowing of impending doom and a bit of dark humor woven into the story kept me waiting in suspense for what what was to come.

I love this future world and I want so much more of it! I wish the writers would turn this story into a book because I would love immersing myself in Macdonald and Doyle's futuristic world.
