3.0

It was interesting and I really liked the ending. In the first half or so, the world-building felt labored and unclear, and the story started to drag, but then it suddenly picked up and became much more organic and vibrant and exciting.

I'd definitely read more set in this world or from this author, but this one didn't quite stand out from all the other great Tor.com shorts I've been read.
