Very much enjoyed these stories set in the same dystopian near future. Ms Nestvold's writing here is exactly what I love about great sf: well-developed worldbuilding, human interest, an exploration of possibilities. Definitely worth the cover price.

Nestvold explores some interesting angles in the short stories that make up this collection. Ranging from the addictive qualities of using technology to literally 'become someone else' to the psychological effects of human dependency on constant connection through the web and a range of things in between. Not a bad little read.

I wish these had just been pulled together into a novel, but I enjoyed them and will look for others by her. Dystopian future, corporations determining what areas can be saved, etc.

I was expecting something more meaningful than this. But it wasn't such a bad read, but I ll probably forget about it in a couple of months...

All of the stories seemed set in the PNW and had a similar voice and level of technology.
