Title: Looking for a specific story
Post by: kraps on May 22, 2013, 10:47:12 PM

Hi all! Podcasts rule and stuff!

The story I'm looking for is a really short one about a holocaust survivor who uses his scientist daughter's tech to implant his remembered fear and horror into the brain of his neo-nazi grandson. It's by a relatively well-know SF author. Thanks!

Do you know for a fact that it was podcasted?

Oh here it is: Repeating the Past by Peter Watts (http://www.rifters.com/real/shorts/PeterWatts_RepeatingThePast.pdf). Shoulda checked the pdfs in my history sooner.

I'm 80% sure it was on Escape Pod.

I thought you might have been talking about Episode 334: The Eckener Alternative (http://escapepod.org/2012/03/01/ep334-the-eckener-alternative/)! It seems weirdly similar in a way or two. Well if you liked Repeating The Past, you should certainly give The Eckener Alternative a shot.
