A quality collection of short stories- many are pretty dystopian and post/apocalyptic, so be aware of that going in. I especially enjoyed the stories that explored themes of human consciousness and AI (and indigeneity and/or queerness can be related/within that) and explorations of what kinship and belonging could mean in different futures. Some were more interesting and creative to me that others but all in all a good read and I’d like to follow the contributors for more.
