This book of though-provoking short stories captures the zeitgeist of today's western European conflicts and aspirations. Touching on a variety of subjects ranging from artificial intelligence, population control, selective breeding, sexuality, veganism, privacy laws, immigration, freedom and the distortion of human identity itself. What does it mean to be human in a future where our species may struggle to find a meaningful role?

A short collection of mostly dialog driven, near future Sci-Fi. Iceland was a particularly memorable one, as I don't think I've ever seen that done before. I typically don't go for a smaller collection of shorts like this one, but I do enjoy short stories, and received an ARC, so I was interested to see what this collection held.

Some of the stories ended abruptly or were a little vague, but all in all, there was a lot accomplished in under 100 pages, and the majority of these were well done and pretty clever. There were some typos and gratuitous profanity in some of the stories, where others were clean and error-free. It's definitely an impressive collection for a single author, and there are some interesting ideas in this one.

This was an interesting read. I didn’t fully understand one of the stories, I may re read it at a later time.

I won this in a giveaway.

I really enjoyed the concepts that this book explored. However I do think that each short story could have been a bit longer so each concept could have a bit more time to shine.
