Dark Matter Presents Monstrous Futures
Ratings1
Average rating4.5
This is a good to great collection of dark fiction stories showing where humanity is headed. All the topics in the stories were spot on, and you can see everything explored is basically already happening around us.
There weren't any outright terrible stories, but a few definitely fizzled out and weren't as strong as the others. That is the nature of these huge collections, though, and I truly enjoyed most of them.
The stories include lots of robots going wrong as you'd expect, some wonderfully uncomfortable racism and genetic themes are explored, and they hit pretty hard, and of course, end-stage capitalism doing its destructive best to ruin our lives. Almost anything you can think of was brought up in the collection's twenty-nine tales.
Finally, the narrator was great and brought the stories to life with a variety of voices and accents. I was really impressed by them
