Zine Review – Flurb (Issue 1) – 4 Stars
If you’re a sucker for good sci-fi like I am, then you’ll love FLURB. It’s the best place to find great sci-fi authors doing what they do best: writing, not to sell books, but purely to express through the art of storytelling. Issue One is a great place to start, with Cory Doctorow’s enticing exploration of consciousness and it’s detachment from the physical confines in “I, Row-Boat” and Mark Laidlaw’s study of the terrifying origins of computers in “Evaluation of the Hannemouth Bequest”. Rudy Rucker calls issue one the ‘Cyberpunk’ issue of FLURB, so if that sounds appealing – get reading.
