I see the merit in this book, the stories presented are set in a world that is similar to our own, with tiny adjustments that make it feel unsettling and off-putting. This discomfort, I believe, is the point of this book.
However, I find some of the stories a bit draggy. Perhaps it is just my attention span, but I was not heavily invested in some of the stories.
Nevertheless, an interesting, short read.
