A review by rebeccazh
Singa-Pura-Pura by Nazry Bahrawi

4.0

3.5 stars, with some stories I enjoyed more and others less, as is typical with an anthology. With the recent talk and discussion about AI chatbots like ChatGPT, this book was in some ways an imaginative response to these debates. I especially enjoyed the middle section that collected stories reimagining a futuristic Singapore. Quite funny to see the heavy presence of the state in almost every story, the almost absurd adherence to rules and regulations and the Singapore obsession with collecting points to get a certain grade.
