• “This is a good mashup. The tech is advanced but not so far ahead that it is magic. The people in the future are used to living within strict limits, but they have lost the innovative spirit. The crew of the Fata Morgana has that spirit, and their influence will improve the survivor’s lives. Time is a fluid thing, but time spent reading Fata Morgana isn’t wasted.”
