A quick read that was... highly readable! Meaning there wasn't a boring lull to be found. It is a promising start to a series.
There were some nice touches in the writing and the general idea was pretty good. But I did not understand the ending AT ALL.
How can it start over if her brain tissue has degenerated? She's not software, she's spoiled meat. It makes no sense to me at all - there must be something obvious that I'm overlooking, as it doesn't seem to have bothered anyone else. At first I thought it was a printing error in the file in the Hugo packet, but no.

Short Story Hugo Nominee for 2015
For a brain in a jar story, I was pleasantly surprised to be surrounded by so much pathos and emotion. I was surrounded by human connections and really sweet and sentimental considerations. It's almost enough to renew my faith in humanity, but only when there's absolutely nothing to lose. After all, the protagonist is already dead, filling herself with images of brownies and cat vomit to say yes and no to any questions. It's really a half-life, and bittersweet, but thank god for her research partner. He did right on all counts.
The story made me feel something, and that's awesome. I can't complain at all. This one can rank up there as a solid choice for the year. I'll get through the others soon.… (plus d'informations)

It is a fine story but it isn't anything special. The premise is an old one and this only puts minor tweaks on it. Maybe this is meant to be a teaser for the novel or something.
