Analog Science Fiction and Fact - Jun 1 2012
The latest issue of Analog was good, but I'd say it was weaker than the average. Food Chained - Carl Frederick - A clever story about space travel and alien food chains and intelligence. Crooks - Paul Carlson - a nice story about robots and trucks. A Murmuration of Starlings - Joe Pitkin - Quite good. I can't tell the real theme of the story without it being a spoiler, though... Titanium Soul - Catherine Shaffer - very good short story about conscience - artificial or otherwise. An Ounce of Prevention - Jerry Oltion - didn't particularly like this one. Fine Print - Michael Alexander - nice short story (again, theme is too much of a spoiler) Darwin's Gambit - Emily Mah - this was nice, and the end did have a proper setup during the story. However, it was so much into the cute cliche of children being smarter than adults that I was annoyed by it... A Reasonable Expectation of Privacy - N.M. Cedeño - very nice story about a world without privacy and a murde...
