5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking 2 May 2012

Hi

This is the third short story I have read by Stephen Livingston and my favourite.

The central character (who is also the reader) is given three options for the future, one of which he (or we) must pick and none of which seam that attractive.

The setting for the start and end of the story is a club with very loud music. Clubbers are thought of as being the young, and the young are not thought of as being typical voters. I could be missing the point but I guess part of the message is that young and old, we are all responsible for picking the future of the world that we live in.

Hope to read more from Stephen Livingston soon.

Alex

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever, Thought Provoking, Interesting 11 Aug 2011
By Sandy M
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
In a short story format the author covers man/womankind's choices for the future.

I liked the story, it manages to stay grounded in fact and not get pompous or preachy, I am far too old a fart to be familiar with the club scene, but still got on with the story, it was well written but clearly too short in this format to develop things very much.

I look forward with interest to a longer story from this author, thanks for the freebie and good luck for the future!
