Hold Dear the Lamp Light, by Jay Dayrit
Continuing the Wired Magazine Science Fiction Issue: Hold Dear the Lamplight is one of several dystopian stories in the collection. We see a picture of society failing, rather gracefully actually, through the story of the loss of a community's power plant. In the story it's climate change taking the plant away, but this could be in any war torn disorderly country in the Middle East or Africa. The family learns to make do. It's sort of made to sound tragic but isn't. Anyway, it's OK, 2 stars.
