Sue | 2782 comments Part of my year-long mini challenge to read a collection of short stories for each tag.

I read a lot of short story collections and it's rare to get to the end and love every single story. These were all fantastic.

Each story was futuristic, speculative sci-fi, but with an individual human's journey and adventure at the center of each tale.

The stories range from two women driving cross country in a giant narwhal car, a young man whose new AI prosthetic arm believes it's a road in Colorado, a music historian on a generational spaceship, a musician shipwrecked from some sort of post-apocalypse luxury cruise ship.

The worlds and characters are all the exact sort of wonderful weirdness I love.


Jen K | 3208 comments Nice review and great mini-challenge! I read a longer novel by Pinsker and thought it was a fascinating concept. I keep meaning to read more by her and this might be may next one at some point.


Shelly | 957 comments Oh! This sound like something I must read immediately!

Sue! Thank you, just finished it and it was fantastic. I think I will use it for this month's moral dilemma tag.

In my opinion, definitely fits the Moral Dilemmas tag.

Robin P | 6103 comments I would never have picked this, since I don't tend to read short stories but now I have added it to my TBR!

Theresa | 16105 comments On my TBR it goes - I do love short story collections and I don't have much in the way of speculative fiction - mostly mystery.

And I'm not sure how I missed your original review, Sue. So I'm thanking Shelly for digging it up to comment on again after she read it!
