1.0

Dissappointing. A concept that could have been very clever, but was only used in such boring obvious binary terms that it fell short of its potential. The author seems to forget a plethora of things about the truth of humanity and it's diversity of gender, sexuality and personality.

This edition has an extra short story which is in some ways better, but equally underdeveloped so that it feels like a pitch rather than a story.
