My favorite stories are
"The Plague" by Yan Leisheng : yes, a pandemic story. But unlike any other. Would make a good Love, Death, Robots episode.
"The Immolation of Kev Magee" by L.X. Beckett: First story I read from the author. At first it was a bit confusing but after rereading it was very enjoyable. Great near-future setting (reminded me of Autonomous), amusing tech (I think I need that Can't Unsee app), and Breeze was an engaging character.
I also enjoyed the interviews, especially with Michael Swanwick, where he called out his peers to read new writers or else why stay writing in the genre.

My favorite story in this issue was easily The Plague by YAN LEISHENG and translated by ANDY DUDAK.
It's about a heartless character who even in the messed up world he lives in. When everyone is losing their humanity he's finding his. And after reading where the translator Andy said the first draft was written in 89 it proves how timely and timeless a story can be.
