I was a bit disappointed by this short story collection. The world building was enjoyable in each of stories but I didn't much like any of the characters. All the main characters seem to share an intense apathy about the world and other people, that never seems to resolve or change. They all seem to be in the midst of a deep depression, but you don't get to see them come out of it.
