We'll review the stories (we usually read 1 or 2 per week) which are listed on the website, http://sfsfss.com for the week! Read that and you should be good to go.
At the meetup we discuss anything about the story we find interesting.
We discuss the technology, world, characters, realism, social/economic implications, likelihood, writing style, pacing etc.
