Many of these stories were very intriguing! He reminds me of a slightly more modern (technology has evolved FAST) Ted Chaing. Liu definitely does not shy away from the horror aspects where appropriate. (I could not read the last story personally.) I still really liked it overall, though. I never thought I’d find another writer like Ted Chaing- such wonderful use of language mixed with such a deep understanding of technology and its varied impact.
Graphic: Torture, Medical trauma, Gun violence, and Murder
