The May issue of Clarkesworld offers a thin veneer of creativity with “Brainstem Disco, 2191” by Angela Liu, but let’s be real—it's a hollow echo of emotional exploration. The concept of revisiting memories tied to music is overdone and, frankly, a lazy trope. While the story attempts to delve into grief and memory, it falls flat, failing to present anything new or profound. Why are we settling for mediocre narratives that recycle the same old themes? If you’re looking for a genuine reflection on loss and connection, you’d be better off seeking stories that actually challenge and provoke thought instead of this forgettable fluff.
