Today's Webtip: System Reset

a pre-apocalyptic short story.

Things I learned today: pre-apocalyptic is a thing. Like, it's a literary genre that stands on its own.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, post-apocalyptic literature is a pretty big thing, and there must have been some stories leading up to the end of the world as we know it. I just never thought about looking for it.

As a child of Reagan I just sort of assumed everything was pre-apocalyptic.

The End Is Nigh is the name of a short story collection featuring stories about the beginning of the end. io9 is hosting a taste of what the book has to offer in the form of a short story from Tobias Bruckell.

It's called System Reset. A short piece about hacker bounty hunters on a world ending mission.

Just the thing forma not so sunny Saturday.
