The Ultimate Space Race by Jaleta Clegg - A Short Story Review

I’m a fan of The Amazing Race and The Amazing Race Canada so this story spoke to me.

What this story did was take television, corporate sponsorships, consumerism and social networking forward into an unsettling place.

The Ultimate Race pitted seven teams, in small space ships, on a race from an orbiting casino, New Vegas, to Mars’ moon Phobos and back.  But it was told from the point of view of a fan watching the show from home.

Honestly, the forward projection of media is not that outlandish, it feels very, very plausible.

I Loved this story.
