a decent collection overall, it was cool to see how lcx handled some of the ideas that were explored/mentioned in the three-body problem books. my favs were:
  • the wandering earth
  • for the benefit of mankind
  • curse 5.0
  • devourer

(plus honorary mention to the first half of mountain.. such great imagery)

I did not know this was a collection of short stories, it was a joyously entertaining moment when I realized there was no connection at all between them.
