This was a fun little collection - just for the book I'd probably give 3,5 but it gets some bonus points for the audio version - Coffin Liquor in particular was an absolute delight to listen to.
There's nothing wildly innovative or groundbreaking here, just classic ideas given a bit of a modern twist, but it's executed well.
Yes, you can tell it's written from a boomer mindset, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment, ymmv.

Creatively conceived and executed stories. Great observations about what modern life is, but not enough about how to live it.

Intriguing, creepy and downright disturbing collection of short stories. I liked the reimagining of low level threat and terror that might come about due to our modern interaction with technologies.
I listened to this as an audiobook and really like the format for short stories. It means I can get lost in them while performing other tasks.
