So You Want to be a Robot and Other Stories by A. Merc Rustad

5.0

Beautiful, moving, queer SFF stories that made me cry in public more than once. These stories touch on some of my favorite themes of found family, queer folks supporting queer folks, and choosing love even when it's difficult. And Merc's writing is vivid, clear, and imaginative, too. There's some great representation of autism, as well.

I've read some of Merc's short fiction outside of this collection, and I adored every story, and this collection only solidifies them as one of my very favorite SFF writers. I'm going to recommend this book to all of my friends.
