Really enjoyed this - I generally dislike second-person narrative but I think it was used well here and leads the reader to the philosophical and ethical debates in play. The narrative clearly guides us to consider things from one point of view, but I think it's valuable to consider things from Dr Kuhn's side too.

Overall did not like the writing style. The plot was interesting and the way the ending unfurled was engaging.

This was not my favorite of the collection. It was pretty predictable to me, and I was not surprised at any point in the story, except of maybe the reveal where it takes place. Actually, I would like to know more about the setting than the characters, which felt very two-dimensional to me. So, it was hard for me to care about what was happening to them.
