I'm not really into sci fi, but I decided to take this one on before I sunk into Blake Crouch (for book club, not my own choosing).
I really liked how this one started out. Sam has to go to the biotech company Vitek after his wife Annie has created three different prototypes (or "contours") of their future child Daniel. Sam gets to see these three different videos. I was intrigued where the story was going to go, but then Sam goes to a bar and I didn't really understand that part and how it related to the first part of the story. But I'm sure it does relate.
Because I didn't "get" the second half of the story (which is obviously a "me" problem but inhibited my enjoyment nonetheless), I'm giving this one 3 stars.

Do you want to the know the future?
Or would you rather make your own future? That is the questions that I think this particular short story evokes. But you decide.

Very interesting premise, but unfortunately not much was done with it. A Black Mirror episode if you only watched the first 20 mins establishing the stakes and then there was no turn.
