Trickle Down Lobotomies
This one felt like I read a whole novel. Such a fascinating world building in so few pages. I once watched Tim's video on horrors of immortality. This story was perfect example of that. I might rewatch that video for full experience.

Panstellar
How do we face the end of the universe?

Just Dust In The Light
Short story about loss of faith and grief. As someone who lost both a sibling and the strong faith in divine, this one rung close to home.

Flight of the Ten Million Moths
This one felt like a Doctor Who episode in the best possible way.

On The Beach Of Forgotten Things
Old man tends to a lighthouse on a beach where all the things forgotten by sands if time wash up. One of these things is a child.

A Worm Beneath The Skin
Good God!!! I have never read such a take on the bned to self-harm before. It was visceral and powerful.

Constellations of Flesh, Bone, and Memory
This was short and beautiful. We are all sum of our parts, and a result of millions of years of evolution.

The Funeralist; Or Hate in Five Parts
Mysterious creatures hold funerals for every piece of written word, when it is last read. I love the idea that our writing is imbued with enough of our essence that it has tou be mourned as any of us would be.

The Exclusion Clause in the Small Print of Life
This felt like a fuck you to Passengers and I'm all for it.

'Life and Death of Luciá's Lubrary'
I am always fascinated by anthropomorphisations of Death. This was a fascinating iteration of it.

'Two Robots At The End Of The World' felt like I was watching WALL-E and then the TWIST!!!! What was that????

I went from so disgusted I had to put the book down and walk around the room for a bit, to sobbing my eyes out in couple of pages. I'm not surviving this book!

The Native American languages are structured so differently, I feel like English will never due it due justice. So it took me a while to understand all the expressions. But now I'm in the groove and OH MY GOD this is thrilling!!!

I had a new hyperfixation for couple of months and couldn't read at all. I am so behind. Trying to fix that now.
