Forward: Stories of Tomorrow by N.K. Jemisin, Blake Crouch, Paul Tremblay, Amor Towles, Veronica Roth, Andy Weir
3.0
Veronica Roth: Ark
⭐⭐⭐
One of those stories you read, think they are nice and soon forget about them.
Blake Crouch: Summer Frost
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I admit I was a bit bored during reading this and quite exasperated with the main character, but the nearer the end the more compelling it became and I was more than satisfied with the ending. One of those pieces that make you think (even though some of those things are about what you didn't like about the characters).
N. K. Jemisin: Emergency Skin
⭐⭐
Capitalism bad, eat the rich. Here, I saved your time reading it.
Amor Towles: You Have Arrived at Your Destination
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An original spin on a theme of "should we genetically modify our children", except not really. It's about us, our take on life, the way we are shaped by our decisions, and how (and if) it can be predicted/predetermined. Best in the collection.
Paul Tremblay: The Last Conversation
⭐⭐⭐⭐
A mystery thriller, nice! It dragged a little initially but I understand why the author chose to write it this way.
Andy Weir: Randomize
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I don't understand quantum computing (and oh boy I tried...) so I can't tell if the things presented in the story could happen or not, but I don't care. It was fun, short, fast-paced, and I liked the twist at the end.
