Though not an avid reader of science fiction, I make an exception for Bora Chung, who has a knack for writing incredibly creative premises. She's able to write short stories in a way that makes you curious to know what it's about while managing to wrap them up in a manner that doesn't make you feel like you needed more. That being said, some of the stories were a mouthful and were so wordy that it was hard to finish, but overall, a pretty solid sci-fi anthology.

It's amazing how this author manages to use science fiction and humor and drama to not just bring lighthearted and funny stories but to delve deep and make me feel strong emotions. I get completely lost in the stories while reading and they make me want to take action.
