‘Summer Ice’ by Holly Phillips
In contrast to the other stories in the anthology, this is not about changing the world but rather adapting to it. It is a lovely story, slightly too gentle for my tastes, in which both Phillips’s protagonist and humanity itself reconcile their nature and achieve a state of grace.
Near-future? Yes.
Optimistic? Yes.
Readable? Yes.
Good? Yes.
