Summary:

On the short fiction of David Marusek, from Dave Itzkoff, The New York Times: "Marusek... may have a relatively modest body of work (just 10 short stories in print over the span of 13 years), but each of these pieces has so far proven to be as concentrated and potent as a dwarf star. In "The Wedding Album," a story first published in 1999, he fashions an ominous and surprisingly moving tale about a bride and groom who repeatedly discover, forget and rediscover that they are merely computer-generated re-creations of a flesh-and-blood newlywed couple, fated to watch as their living counterparts, their marriage and civilization itself decay over the centuries... "The Wedding Album" is a story whose beauty can be appreciated even by readers who are intimidated by weather reports, despite the factt that I've just given away its major plot points.
