Summer Frost (Forward Collection, #2) opens Goodreads in a new tab

My thoughts

4/5stars It’s not choosing between reality and fantasy. It’s choosing which reality you want to exist in. Speculative sci-fi (techno-thriller) short story, with a glimpse of what it would be like if there is a AI/robotic uprising in the future. Premise: When Riley, a video game developer, notes that a NPC (non-player character) in one of her virtual reality games appears to defy the rules, Riley and her boss decide to see how far they can develop this AI. And, faced with the results of their experiment, they must consider all the above. But when is it too late? You search for glimpses of beauty to justify your existence. This was a quick fast paced action packed sci-fi story. Blake Crouch very well knows how to write this category of stories. The writing was well paced, it always kept me on edge and since this was my last book from the collection here is my rating for the collection- 1. Emergency Skin 2. Summer Frost 3. The last conversation 4. Ark 5. You arrived at your destination 6. Randomize Consciousness is a horror show
