A review by bookwyrmknits
Uncanny Magazine Issue 37: November/December 2020 by Chimedum Ohaegbu, Elsa Sjunneson, Michael Damian Thomas, Lynne M. Thomas
3.5
Some of the stories (like "The Salt Witch" by Martha Wells and "The Span of His Wrist" by Lee Mandelo) I liked a lot. Others (notably "50 Things Every AI Working with Humans Should Know" by Ken Liu) were okay but not quite my cup of tea. There were one or two I didn't like, and at least one (though I forget which) that I disliked enough to DNF the short story and move on to the next piece. I really only skimmed the essays and interviews, but the poetry was neat. I had forgotten poetry was in these magazines too.
