This set of stories, while tightly on thematic point, were a little hit or miss for me despite mostly excellent narration by a cast of celebrity audiobook readers. The best stories gave breathing room to philosophical questions about free will, automation, and (human?) connection.
Contains 'Love Letter' and 'My House' which is enough to warrant a high price. Didn't initially review this but thinking about it a lot again so here is that

I read this along with friends for a book club. While I found some stories entertaining, I felt like the writer was trying to “say something” but it mostly fell flat for me.
