newcountry 's review for:
Emergency Skin
by N.K. Jemisin
I get that a short story has to be dumbed down on some level, but I'm sorry, I really just don't find it compelling to listen to am hour of strawmenned evil racist fascists complain about a utopia for an hour.
It just comes across as so childish when they reveal that the reason the earth survived is all the capitalists left.
In spite of that, there was a kernel of commentary I did really like. Namely being the ending with the line about how you can't start a revolution with the enemy in your head and then the abrupt ending of the fascist Ai in the mcs head.
I also liked the sci fi concept that they found the cure to aging, but because its limited, it's limited for the ruling class.
