Northern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales ToC: #5. "The Disconnected" by David Steffen
I first met David at Minicon 45, and shortly after he joined MinnSpec. I've liked what fiction I've read of his and I've enjoyed his blog posts and interactions with MinnSpec on the message boards. I hope to get to know him better in the future.
What I can tell you is this: David can write a fine story. I was hoping to get some strong science fiction for the anthology, and this story fit the bill perfectly. "The Disconnected" is a frightening -- and frankly too plausible -- look into our future. Don't let that get you down, there is hope here, along with joy and beauty. Treat it as a bit of a cautionary tale.
"The Disconnected" was originally published in podcast format at Pseudopod, Episode 169, November 2009.
