This is a part of the 6-story [b:Forward Collection|48207924|Forward Collection|Various|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|73447273] that was initiated by [a:Blake Crouch|442240|Blake Crouch|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1479398727p2/442240.jpg]. He gathered five other authors in the SFF genres to focus on one aspect of the future and put their own signature spin on it. The six authors in this collection are: [a:Blake Crouch|442240|Blake Crouch|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1479398727p2/442240.jpg], [a:Veronica Roth|4039811|Veronica Roth|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1544540525p2/4039811.jpg], [a:N. K. Jemisin|18693727|N. K.

This story was really good. I only know Tremblay as a horror writer so this was an interesting diversion. He uses the second-person POV which makes the story that much more chilling and unsettling. With any of these stories, I recommend skipping synopses and just jumping into them. Same as you would do for a movie by skipping the spoil-filled trailers. Jump in and let your mind explore!
