For a story to pull the reader in, it must present a world for them to occupy. This world can be incredibly different from the real world, but it has to be "true" enough to support the tissue of suspension of disbelief or it all falls apart. In this piece, Mr. Shipp has created a world that is absolutely airtight!The story reads and feels like a 50's noir piece, but is thoroughly science fiction to its core. The main character's attitudes and slang all reinforce the 50's feel, while still fitting in the dystopian world built around lower classes and women subjugated by technology.An excellent read!
