Good
"Nobody Ever Goes Home to Zhenzhu" by Grace Chan: Tightly paced, visually written, impactful.
"The Plastic People" by Tobias S. Buckell: A story about generational responsibility, or the lack thereof, and the other side of the "good Samaritan". It flows really well and is an uncomfortable mirror.
"It Came Gently" by Aigner Loren Wilson: It's a piece of flash fiction, so no plot or character, but that brief image and the sentiment it left are all there.
OK
"Test 4 Echo" by Peter Watts: A lot of it went over my head. If you strip down to the basics, it's about two characters talking about consciousness and personhood.

I so wish this was longer. The world building and story telling was phenomenal. To show the future in such a brutal present time, to show that hope is there still… this was amazing
