No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Set in the near
future, Nancy Kress story gives us a world increasingly hostile to new ideas
as religious fundamentalism dictates social agenda and where the primary use of
science is to bolster these very same uncompromising attitudes.
This is a world we
can imagine very easily since the author takes us down the sliding slope very
gently. Years pass, and attitudes change a little bit hereand a little bit
there till the cumulative impact of these cultural changes becomes a
thought-controlling nightmare.
Annabel Lee is a
child of this society, but unique. She has been infected by a long-dormant
alien parasite. But this
infection may be
the only hope for the world, if she can survive long enough.
Therese Pieczynskis
companion piece predates the world Nancy Kress gives us and takes us to back to
1980s Nicaragua, where a strange demon lurks.
