Resumen del Editor
In a futuristic world where predictive software can map out the lives of every living person and their descendants, Naomi Prynne is on trial. The charge: endangerment by way of a pregnancy.
Thirteen jurors will determine whether Naomi is allowed to carry the pregnancy to term, but the jurors are also all plaintiffs, the software having predicted how Naomi Prynne’s child will affect each of them in life-changing ways. Among them: a history professor who has given up on her own dreams for the sake of the greater good; a student participating in his first ever trial who’s about to discover an earth-shattering truth; and a former mathematician, who knows all too well the dark machinations of the state, but is prohibited from speaking out against them. The future of the Prynne Viper - an acronym for “viable person” - is in their hands.
But this Prynne Viper is unlike Naomi’s other pregnancies. This time, Naomi Prynne is carrying a secret, one with the power to alter the future into something incalculable, and therefore, unpredictable.

Award-winning author and human rights activist Ishmael Beah brings us The Door to Tamba, a powerful story centered on a mining village in West Africa where the destruction of earth and pollution of life impacts the mind, body, and soul of communities. Hindolo, a storyteller, returns to his hometown after 30 years and recalls the solitary and formidable old man who opened his home to him and introduced a world of literature and imagination, which for many years, was his only escape. Hindolo begins writing the stories down on paper stolen from a nearby mine to share with his classmates.

No congress. No Supreme Court. No freedom. There are only the Authorities. Citizens have two primary goals in the new Republic: to create clean energy and to create new human life. Those who cannot do either are of no use to society. This bleak and barren existence is all that 18-year-old Emmeline has ever known.

Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

With Glasshouse, Stross pens a Kafkaesque tale set in a 27th-century of teleport gates and mind-attacking network worms. After Robin awakes in a clinic, he struggles to summon details of his life, but too many of his memories have been wiped clean. More troubling is the stark awareness of immediate danger: someone is trying to kill him. On the run, Robin makes a desperate gamble and volunteers for what he hopes is the sanctuary of an unusual study at the Glasshouse. Once there, however, he realizes the true terror has only begun.

In Zero Day Code we see those immense and open, hyper-complex, networked supercities of the new millennium die. And in the last moments we see their vengeance take form as all the best and worst traits of humanity bubble to the surface.

A compelling short story
In this futuristic society, many things have changed from the time before and citizens are expected to sacrifice for the greater good. Software is now able to determine how the life of every person will play out. How they will behave, grow, do in school, if they will save another person or harm someone, etc. This "predictive software" can predict an embryos interaction with other people once it becomes an adult.
Naomi Prynne is on trial, charged with endangerment for being pregnant. The court will determine whether her pregnancy will be carried to full term. But first, the predictive software will tell each juror how exactly the existence of Prynne’s potential child , the “viper” (an acronym for “viable person”), will affect their own life and the life of their family members in generations to come.
A fascinating, compelling short story. The book reminds me of 1984, The Handmaid’s Tale and The School for Good Mothers and more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A cerebral journey.... one that we are currently facing within society. Right, wrong and what truly is for the greater good? Compassion, and empathy a human trait is unpredictable. Government's oppression and subversion of basic human rights.

Great story, perfect for audio
Really enjoyed this story, and the production was great. I liked the use of the gavel sound to separate sections and POVs. I really felt for the characters and their unique roles in the proceedings. Interesting premise, expertly crafted and executed by author, cast, and production team. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something short that will draw you in.

Loved it!!
Rather than dystopian, this society portrayed in this thought provoking story, has a chance of becoming protopian. All the talk of AI and whether it will pose a threat to the future of mankind, makes this a currently relevant story. If AI scares you, maybe this will be a life lesson in the strength of the human character.
