Reception

In reviewing Bad Moon Rising: An Anthology of Political Forebodings, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction editor Joanna Russ called The Village "the best piece of propaganda I have ever read."[1] She goes on to say "it carries its own split; its subject (the war in Southeast Asia) is folded back on itself in a doubleness that is the subject of the story. This is the first time I've seen Ms. Wilhelm use slick-magazine origins of her people and places (not her treatment of them) so savagely and well. The tale, which was written several years ago, was good enough to frighten the slick magazines into rejecting it; only now does it see print."[1]

gollark: Well, they cost a massive amount for some bizarre reason, and if you just subsidize it people will come out with degrees but it will also be a massive money pit.
gollark: Free universities is a very very bad idea.
gollark: Idea: discrete cosine transforms.
gollark: > On Sunday, baidicoot declared that the first demo would be released soon-ish (but not now). Although the engine was ready, some minor features like controls needed to be added before it met with the lord's approval. But, due to baidicoot's phenomenal genius, the demo was finished in just a few hours, uploading “epeleptic demo” to his GitHub at 2020-04-12 16:48 UTC+0100. This was the first release of EWO, v0.1.0.0, also known as “EPILEPSY DEMO”.
gollark: I agree.
