This short story collection was a mixed bag for me. I really enjoyed the “Tower of Babylon,” “Hell in the Absence of God,” and “Liking what you see,” but the rest fell flat. The ones I dislike focused more on the convoluted scientific concepts they were exploring and had rather flat characters, whereas the ones I had an easier time with felt more grounded in human issues.
