Enjoyment: I'm finally starting to catch on: these don't work as science fiction because they're not science fiction. They're fairy tales. Modern, cynical fairy tales. That's okay. I like fairy tales, too. This one in particular makes no sense on a literal level, either with the plot or the characters - but it works, on a bedtime story level. B
