Piss on the ground. Check. See the coming storm? Check. Stand
next to a device that’s sole purpose is to harness the power of lighting,
check. And stupid. But what are your going to do when the remote sensor on your
shockbox doesn’t work due to the fact that your box is the end product of parts
from other broken shockboxes? In a world where shockjockies are the elite,
Christopher, the son of the city’s best, is forced to work for a thug who want
his faulty shockbox filled.
As this was a short story, not much back info was given,
such as how the world switched from dependency of oil to lightning. But the back info that was there was enough to
see why Christopher is doing what he was doing.
If Jack Vega was to write a sequel to this book concerning
the same character, would I read it? Probably not, I feel that this story has
completed its course. If he was to write another story in the same universe
with a different character, would I read that? Definitely.
