Reviews

[Cindy · Rating 2 out of 5]

The concept was a bit more interesting than the execution. There were certain articles I liked -- like the interview with the two transgender writers about how sci-fi and transgenderism are intersecting and the story about the private mission to Mars -- but the lay-out was distracting. The font is really tiny, and many of the stories mesh in tone so you get bogged down. It was not quite what I thought it'd be.
