4.0

My favorite story in this issue was easily The Plague by YAN LEISHENG and translated by ANDY DUDAK.

It's about a heartless character who even in the messed up world he lives in. When everyone is losing their humanity he's finding his. And after reading where the translator Andy said the first draft was written in 89 it proves how timely and timeless a story can be.
