Goodreads Review: Who was the writer at the end? Who was the writer at the end? God damn it talk to me you psychotic coffee maker! This was a fun read even if it did end up doubling my natural healthy distrust of AI.

The Recipe for Rice is 9,500 Years Old by Anya Ow

Goodreads Blurb: You can listen to this science fiction story for free on your device with the Audible Stories Skill. Just say “Alexa, read me a sci-fi story,” or “Alexa, read me a story” to hear more free genres.

In a cyberpunk future where water is scarce, rice is one of the first casualties. The recipe for printing natural-tasting, healthy, synthetic rice is a closely guarded corporate secret that a young hacker seeks to steal, for very personal reasons.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: Wow … I was not expecting that. The imaginary of this world is vivid, I almost feel like I know it inside and out already and coming from such a short story that is impressive.
