Maybe the best short story collection I’ve read.

A really well written and edited collection of short stories. Each story is slightly twisted away from reality and leans into the feelings and emotions of an event rather than the actions of an event.

Just pure perfection. Each story is set in what is almost exactly like our world, but with a twist. My favourite kind of sci fi.
Beautiful, funny, memorable, clever, but not so clever they forget to be good stories, too.
