Charlie Jane Anders is described in the blurb as "this generation's LeGuin". Probably an unfair comparison, as she has neither the philosophical or psychological depths of LeGuin, but few writers do. Nevertheless, still a good read. As this is a set of short stories this is a bit of a mixed bag: most good but a few poor stories in there, including one I couldn't finish. One small gripe: please don't put content warnings in your introductions, this is science fiction and we expect to be challenged.
