A really interesting collection. The stories were all captivating, a bit unsettling, and some had a Black Mirror vibe. Pre-Simulation Consultation XF007868, Twenty Hours, and June bugs were the highlights for me.

I really enjoy reading short story collections because I think writing in short form content requires a very special kind of skill, and it often leads down a very odd, peculiar path where nothing really makes sense, but at the same time, feels entirely familiar.

These stories were so fun to read, even when I didn't necessarily like them. I have to commend the author for simply being original and daring in their storytelling.
