Really enjoyed all the short stories and the political satire each one dealt with. My favorite one was "Taklamakan Misdelivery", a surprisingly emotional story where a search gets conducted for a fighter pilot who crashes and gets lost in the desert. It's the typical story on people banding together when the government refuses to do so, but just seeing the way people can care about each other and taking action to accomplish a common goal brought me to tears.
