This book is a collection of four novellas that take place in the year 2054 and it's as cyberpunk as it gets. There is a depth to the stories and you can keep on reading even if it's slightly different from the stories that you usually read.
I really liked the first story Deep Ocean Blues. There is heart in this story and it shows in the most magnificent ways.
The Memory Hacker is a fast-paced romp through memories and life of Talia and the set-up of this story is really well-done. Once you finish reading it, you would want to read through again.
Melting Shlemiel is one story that I liked the most because it's so so fucking weird. But once you are immersed in the world of this story, it's lovely in there. It's funny, it's sad and in the end, it leaves you with a smile on your face.
The Camille is the last story and it's a banger that plows through every narrative set-piece with aplomb and grace. There is a lot of tech referenced in this one and that might become real sooner than later.
In all, a lovely collection and well worth the time spent on reading this! I finished it in one sitting!
