Short-Story filter: 3d meat, surprise printed in the bone
May 28, 2020 7:40 PM
What I remember: Short story, cyberpunk shadowrun-y sort of setting. Main character illicitly 3d-prints luxury meat and sells it black-market. She? gets blackmailed by a local businessman who wants forged meat for his child?'s wedding. Something fell through and he can't get grown-meat (but needs the prestige of grown-meat), so he threatens her to attempt a near-impossible printing task.
Final twist, as she? escapes it's revealed that something embarrassing was printed on each of the bones delivered to the wedding.
Got it in one, in one hour. Magnificent. I was thinking Fireside Magazine, I should've thought Clarkesworld.
