December 17th 2016: "Significant Figures" by Rachael Acks

Recommended Posts

Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EST) on December 17th, 2016 [01:30 A.M. (GMT), December 18th], for a discussion of the story Significant Figures by Rachael Acks.  This story, like last week's, is a reasonably recent offering from the online magazine Strange Horizons.  Rather than the dark, brooding tale from the Lousiana last week, this story feeds us a pleasant platter of humor with our breakfast waffles.  


 


The story, a parody of classic pulp science fiction, offers a selection of cliches that should elicit a few lol's from even those who would normally eschew a science fiction tale.  I am certain you will enjoy it.  A pod cast of the story is available on the same site as the written story, I can recommend both (although I far prefer to read my stories with my own two eyes).  


 


The story is available on line on the web in the DSecember 16th, 2013 edition of Strange Horizons magazine: http://strangehorizons.com/fiction/significant-figures/ 


 


The chat will be in our normal Readers' Corner chat room:

I believe you all will enjoy the story as much as I.  There will be no "Readers' Corner chat on Christmas or New Years Eves so I hope to see every single one of you for this one (our final Readers' Corner meeting of the year).
