"Katya deals in Authenticities and Captures, trading on nostalgia for a past long gone. Her clients are rich and they demand items and experiences with only the finest verifiable provenance. Other people lives have value, after all. But when her A.I. suddenly stops whispering in her ear she finds herself cut off from the grid and loses communication with the rest of the world. The man who stepped out of the trees while hunting deer cut her off from the cloud, took her A.I. and made her his unwilling guest. There are no Authenticities or Captures to prove Katya story of what happened in the forest. You l just have to believe her."--Page 4 of cover.… (meer)

Paints a compelling futuristic setting with just enough detail to make it feel plausible. I love how the main character is competent in all areas of her life that she finds important, so when she gets dragged into a situation completely out of her depth with an adversary who has every advantage against her I really feel her shock and fear.

The thing that astonishes me about Kowal (and Okorafor, for that matter), is that they are both extraordinarily good at establishing a detailed, imaginative, wildly different from our world and time scene. They do it quickly, too. A couple of pages in and near-future or far, you have the bones of the setting, the beginnings of cultural values established, and a character that is compelling in their tale telling. This novella is consistent in that tradition, and an interesting read. (

I thought the world set up in this story was pretty interesting, but the story was not tight enough for me at all. I'd be interested to read this as an expanded story that took its time and was more clear on the message the author was trying to convey. The focus on some details (main character's job dealing in Authenticities, the prevalence of technology and social media in this 20-minutes-in-the-future world) was really enjoyable, but those were definitely more thought out than the actual story itself.

This little novella was lovely. The first-person narrator, complete with misspellings and typos was really interesting to read. I am intrigued by the larger world that we only glimpse in this story, and would gladly read more.

The ending was ambiguous -- deliciously so. (

A tense, compelling little thriller. I wonder, though, if the typos are intentional and meant to help establish the character in the narrative. (

If you haven't spent the night in the woods, just know that little birdsa re damn noisy. I mean...holy shit. They are so loud. And deeply, hatefully, cheerful.

Despite that, the birds woke me again at dawn. I lay in the tent, glaring at the roof. If I could have killed them with my mind, I would have. Alas, the cheerful little bastards lived on.
