      The Money Box

      Jun 10, 2022

      This is not a morality tale. It’s simply a story. It began innocently enough, over a lunch of beef pho in the Financial District, when my friend Paolo first mentioned the Money Box. Paolo was a pupa of industry then, waiting to emerge as a titan. He

      I loved this story! The concept of regeneration might not be such a great idea.
    • 5/5
      I feel the same wonder with this story that I felt in the 1950s and 60s when I discovered the first class SF literature penned by the genre’s award winning greats. Sharma’s tale is a little slice of life somewhere in the asteroid mining belt. The natural language of her characters is quite remarkable. It’s such a relief to stumble across such a gem when the SF/Fantasy market is awash with dull, unoriginal cliched tales which together make up a Hitchhikers, Moorcock, Rowling Pratchetty world of “Light Entertainment Porridge in Post-war Britain”. I’m excited as hell with the discovery of this talented woman.
