OZ by Michele Dutcher

Post by Megawatts »

The intro worked. And a nice hint suggesting a new economy that probably isn’t pure socialism or capitalism, but some form of Keynes Economics that has wiped out poverty.

An interesting story in which one can save money by the science of cryogenics. Go into a deep freeze and save your pay! Nice idea and if everyone is on some form of government subsidy then it just might work.

I thought the writing good and the story presented in a timely fashion and easy to follow. At no time was I left hanging.

Getting back to the story, I like how the deep freeze was justified by emphasizing that a person taken out of the ecosystem or environment would reduce stress on that system. Whether such a reduction in the amount of humans walking around would work or not is beyond me, but I do like the idea presented, and it integrated itself well into the story giving purpose to why hibernation was offered.

I like the ending very much; we see that within a dream the will to survive is shone, and that will break though as the chances of returning get slimmer and slimmer because of the length of time involved.

Nice entertaining story!!
