A collection of short stories where humanity comes first and speculative fiction concepts come second, and when even when the world is broken, the people have hope.

I liked how all of these stories were so different. Some moved faster than others. The last -"And Then There Were (N-One)" - was my favorite. Brilliant.

Not normally a short story fan, but the science fiction side of the stories tempted me. Definitely enjoyed the longer stories, with Wind Will Rove and And Then There Were (N-One) - very clever title for that one - were my favorites. Even in the very short stories though, the characters are very well written, they are very real, detailed characters, a wide range of all different types of people which was refreshing. Would look out for Sarah Pinsker’s novels after reading this!
