I don’t think I ever read a collection of short stories so diverse and so good. The authors are from all over the world. The themes go from hard SF to pure fantasy to speculative climate fiction. All this diversity could lead to a lack of unity and uneven quality, but, as a reader, I was never let down as I finished a story and dove right into the next one. Pure joy.
