Don't miss Cooper Shrivastava's engrossing hard sci-fi story "Aptitude", a Tor.com Original

Alena has momentarily escaped her world and its imminent gravitational collapse by cheating her way into the selection process of the Board of Cosmogamy. By passing this stringent exam, she may finally learn the secrets of building a universe from first principles.

But the competition is smarter and better prepared, and even Alena’s cunning and mathematical talents may not be enough to uncover the answers she has been looking for.

The appearance of a strange competitor reveals that Alena may not be the only candidate with hidden motives.
