A very good Issue. My favorites were "Stones", a story about an alien beings first interaction with humanity, the good and the bad, "A Guide to Matchmaking on Station 9" A story about a matchmaker coming to terms with her past while helping others, and "Axiom of Dreams, a longer story about exploring living beings inside of the brain, the ethics of brain chips, and mathematics.
