Mindwebs: They and The Exhibition
They
A classic tale of paranoia.
Have I ever mentioned how SF, especially older SF, is the place to look for sympathetically drawn female characters? Probably not, because usually it isn't
The Exhibition
This is one of those oddly bureaucratized economies people liked back in the old days, although at least this one is polite. I cannot help but wonder if the problem is that there are far too many artists in this setting (perhaps because the economy is entirely automated and art is the only thing left for humans) and far too few gatekeepers.
I didn't really care for the last sentence.
