Status Updates From Space Ships & Other Trips: ...

Q-BE is the fourth story in the collection and the first one that's worked for me. I don't understand why the collection didn't lead with this, especially as it was the author's first traditionally published short story.

I've read the first four stories. So far, they're not landing for me. They're slightly whimsical 'what if?' stories with a subtext on the importance of empathy. I'll read a few more and then decide if this collection is for me.
