A review by jokoloyo
Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 115 by Neil Clarke

2.0

Rating for “Touring with the Alien” only. The title said the plot. What made it worth the read is the discussion about consciousness in this novelette.

I don't see a satisfying conclusion from the author, unlike my previous read [b:Things With Beards|30349538|Clarkesworld Magazine, Issue 117 (Clarkesworld Magazine, #117)|Neil Clarke|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1465051136s/30349538.jpg|55554267]. At the ending, there was a sudden supposed-to-be-thrilling-climax, but I didn't get it.
