branthebard's review against another edition

Neon Leviathan is true blue cyberpunk. It’s not merely an aesthetic for a story to take place, but an in depth meditation on the horrors of war, unfettered capitalism, and trying to survive in a world that feels increasingly inhospitable.
It IS a pretty bleak read at times, not that that counts against it! But, I for one certainly felt the need to watch some kitten videos in between short stories to cope with each new crushing realization.
And it is a MERCY that some of these are short stories. They’ll rip your heart enough as is.
All in all, a very good, very dark, read.

I was so lucky a friend shared an arc of this with me! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Stories are very unique and creepy! I don’t believe I have read anything like this before. In fact, I don’t read much science fiction and short stories. But I did like these stories, despite how uneasy they left me. I would definitely recommend this for cyberpunk and science fiction fans. I gave it three stars because I thought some of the stories could have been a little bit more in depth, and I felt like some of the endings weren’t that great.
