3.0

My favorite stories of this magazine were "Gel Pen Notes from Generation Ship Y", a harrowing story about immortality on a cramped ship and the attempt to find hope, and "Every Seed is a Prayer" (and your world is a seed)", which is an interesting retelling of the Garden of Eden story. I do need to note that one of the stories, a translated one called "Who can have the Moon", paints NFT's in a positive light. It's not the main point of the story, which focuses more on how an artist fells about the transition to new mediums, but it is odd, especially now that NFT's have (thankfully) fell out of favor with most people.
