The year is 2043 and black americans are finally being given reparations by being given 'land' under the sea and they are modified into merpeople. Bonkers plot but I was definitely intrigued.
It was a little hard to follow at times and ended really abruptly. It was a dark story and depressing although probabaly accurate. The racists and white supremists were still not happy even when black people disappear into the ocean.
I feel that this concept needed a full novel. I enjoyed the concept but felt as though it suffered being a short story concept.
