A review by humanignorance
Pump Six and Other Stories by Paolo Bacigalupi

4.0

3.5 stars. The author’s visions of the future are relentlessly and severely pessimistic. It’s extreme, and not for the faint of heart. The worlds are very effectively built in a short space, though this occasionally occurs at the expense of the plots. Still, overall, the narratives are gritty, compelling, and cautionary.
