The Hidden Girl and Other Stories by Ken Liu

4.0

This was my introduction to Ken Liu and I really enjoyed the time I spent with his work. As a person interested in where our wave of tech development is going these stories felt timely, insightful, horror inducing, and sometimes hopeful. There was a limited amount of fantasy offerings in this collection as well and those did not nearly connect with me as well, but I did appreciate the change to connect to that area of his work before engaging with his fantasy series. Some black mirror elements to some of this writing but overall the social critique is deeper and some of these stories provide a roadmap away from the worst aspects of these innovations.
