Fascinating idea.
But, I confess, I was rather distracted throughout by there being no reveal of what the book on Stoneson's desk was!
Oh my goodness, loved this. "Plastered and Mastered" is just about the platonic ideal of an erotic romance title. Wickedly funny, the whole thing.
Wow. Of course any story from Yoon Ha Lee will be brilliant, but man, I do NOT like this glimpse of a possible future publishing world!
Great story, but boy, what a depressing world (perhaps because it seems much closer than the usual dystopia).
