As the blurb states, this is a collection of witty and unexpected tales. I've only read The Martian by Andy Weir and recall it being hilarious. These short stories don't have much humour but twist in the most unexpected ways imaginable.

There are a variety of stories here, each with a 'twist' ending, that range from ho-hum to pretty damn good.
Overall, this would probably be a 3.5/5, but the narration is fantastic, so it gets a bump to 4.
