Children of the New World by Alexander Weinstein
3.0
2.75 stars
This book had so much potential, but as all short story collections go, most of the stories just tend not to hit the spot! I found out of the fourteen stories, only maybe five were captivating. Everything else felt like a similar version of one another. I would still recommend for those who enjoy Black Mirror, as this is a quick read so you could even skip the stories that you don’t like! Fair warning, lots of sex, and some of it feels super repetitive. The stories also felt a little jarring in the beginning and because they were short sometimes would take until the last paragraph for me to have a clear picture in mind as to what was going on.
