My favorite story in this collection was Kenan Orhan's The Beyoglu Municipality Waste Management Orchestra but Foster by Bryan Washington and The Ghost Birds by Karen Russell were also highlights.  All of these stories are worth reading and feature a lot of different topics-a dystopian future, political oppression, family, COVID, you name it.
