… [t]he best stories [in TT2014] are Lauren Beukes’s “Slipping” and Paul Graham Raven’s “Los Piratas del Mar de Plastico”, both of which manage to inject human drama into their visions of the future, as well as characters you care about who are faced with situations where they have something and something significant at stake.
