A short story from the same author of the novella, Flight From Banff, from the worlds of the outer arm of the Milky Way. Upik, a planet completely covered in water, where massive bridges are the only dry land to be found. And where two religions compete for the right to fulfill their prophecies; one which promotes freedom of access to the interplanetary internet. And the other that would prevent it at all costs.
I just read a captivating science fiction short story by Freya Wilde that I would highly recommend. The story had a unique and thought-provoking concept that kept me engaged from start to finish. The author's writing style was both descriptive and concise, making it easy to visualize the world they had created. The main character was well-developed and relatable, making his struggles and triumphs feel authentic. The pacing of the story was just right, with a perfect balance between action and introspection. Overall, I found this science fiction short story to be an enjoyable and rewarding read, and I look forward to exploring more of this author's work in the future.
