Re: The Replicator
I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this one. The letter from father to son is a cool POV and it was interesting to explore the concept of never having to worry about money. The idea of passing such a powerful machine from generation to generation was also cool.
BUT! I hated the suicides. Its a pretty cheap way to handle things. Maybe use standard inheritance coupled with untimely death. Make the inheritee ignorant until he reads the letter. Maybe the father was killed by people who didn't like the power he wielded?
Anyway, it was a good piece overall. Thanks for the read.
