This anthology of short stories by Ken Liu is a mixed bag of satisfying and unsatisfying. The stories with a more traditional structure are, for the most part, the more satisfying of the collection. Some of the earlier stories in the collection are more experimental in subject matter and narrative but are less engaging because they either read like a text book or require the reader to make some decisions on the author's intentions for themself. Overall it's an interesting set of stories with a few that range from fever dream to thought experiment, with varying results for this reader.
