amazing writing throughout each and every story. loved reading dystopian stuff that emphasized how racism and capitalism could get Even More out of hand. as someone who's worked retail I related to the stories that showed the potential extremes of customer service -- sometimes it really does feel like everyone's going to die. my favorite story was Zimmer Land, which was a truly haunting concept and had my favorite lines

People say "sell your soul" like it's easy. But your soul is yours and it's not for sale. Even if you try, it'll still be there, waiting for you to remember it.

and my least favorite story was Lark Street because I truly could not tell what the message was supposed to be there and it creeped me out. but regardless, everything else was great in general and id recommend this to anyone interested in dystopian afro-futurism!
