There are five star stories here, but not all reach that level of quality (of course). Still, it's a fun collection of vignettes, riffing on related ideas, elevating each other by being placed in the same context this way.
One of the most evocative pieces–“Lena”–is available online: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo If you like it, it's worth getting this collection for its sequel–“Driver”–alone.
