Slightly difficult to rate a short story book ๐
. Some were 1s and some were 5s! But overall I really liked this collection. I love the invention of this new genre of visionary fiction and I would love to read more in this genre. It really made me think, reflect, feel deep, change, and reignite my passions. I think itโs a great book for anyone who loves science fiction and is social justice informed. These stories are for you.
