I have thought more about this short story by Robin Sloan than anything else in the past few months.

It is:

• a short story
• in the form of an email
• proposing a book
• that will become a movie
• that will star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
• that will prepare him to be President of the United States

I don’t know what percentage of y’all I just lost with each bullet point there, but it’s a frothy mixture of cynicism and hope.
