Family Business by Jonathan Sims

This was fun, I was almost deceived by the cover but I actually really liked this.
The start was a bit slow but it picked up really fast, and it doesn't really drop from there. I liked the anthology-like structure for this, and there were just enough stories to be interesting but not repetitive. On that, this guy really likes writing anti-capitalist stuff (good).
My main critique is the ending felt a bit rushed. Like the way it gets resolved happened really fast and cartoonish in that it all ends nice and neat in an obvious way. It doesn't ruin the book or anything, thankfully. I think he could have explored the antagonist more, too, but the mystery does add intrigue and lets me make my own ideas about it.
