Overview
Published in Clarkesworld Magazine, Isabel J. Kim's short story is set after the events of Ursula K. Le Guin's 1973 short work of philosophical fiction "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." It discusses a third option besides staying in Omelas or walking away: killing the suffering child (described by one of the murderers as a form of accelerationism).
