reading (Asimov's Jan)

[eor]

I finished the January Asimov's a couple of weeks ago. This month's issue had the overall theme of the vastness of the universe and the smallness of the humans in it. I think my favorite was Eric Del Carlo's "Friendlessness", because of the extrapolation he did from social media and increasing social alienation. The only story this month that didn't really resonate with me was Paul McAuley's "Bruce Springsteen". I understood what he was doing though and I think he did a pretty good job of it. Just not how I roll (or rock).
