Status Updates From Love after the End: An Anth...

“Andwànikàdjigan” by Gabriel Castilloux Calderon ⭐️⭐️ I can appreciate this story and its messaging, but the writing did not work for me.
“Story from a Bottle” by Darcie Little Badger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 I loved this one. The idea of AI kidnapping a child in the same children was stolen and forced into boarding schools was chilling.

“How to Survive the Apocalypse for Native Girls” by Kai Minosh Pyle ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved the idea of the narrative being a list, but it feels like so much wasn’t effectively conveyed or expressed. Th e ending fell flat. This feels more an excerpt or set up to a novel, which I think would be more effective.

"History of the New World" by Adam Garnet Jonees- 4.5 stars This was so well written, but that racist woman was pissing me off.
"The Ark of the Turtle's Back" by jaye simpson- 5 stars I loved simpson's poetry collection, so I was hoping I would love this. I DID! It was beautifully written, and the concept of having to destroy the place you love to be set free from exploitation was such a painful theme to explore.

"Abacus" by Nathan Adler- 3 stars I think the concept of an AI rat that can go into virtual reality is both whimsical and far too wacky for me. Bummed because I loved the last story I read by Adler, but this didn't work for me.
