It’s a collection of short stories, so it’s hard to give an overall rating to the book.
What all stories have in common is that they are related to a future human galactic empire, and they explore various scientific, philosophical and sometimes metaphysical concepts. Out of these, the ones that concert human psyche and sense of self are the highlights, such as “Water for Thought” and “The Want Machine”.
Overall, it’s a really good read if you’re a sci-fi enjoyer with some interest in philosophy.
