An anthology of very high and remarkably consistent quality. At the same time it presents a very diverse range of world views, cultural, gender-related, conceptual, and more. Some truly beautiful writing and some deeply provocative ideas.
My favorite story was Scattered Along the River of Heaven.
“All the Painted Stars" by Gwendolyn Clare. Lovely! Told from the point of view of an alien fighter, it recounts a first contact with humans. Nice change from all the depressing dystopian/post-apocalyptic stuff dominating sf lately.“Immersion" by Aliette de Bodard. Xuya tale. Excellent.
This may have been another of my best reads of 2015. What an amazing collection of work. I was crying, laughing, yelling, all the standards physical signs of investment and care in a book and its characters. It hit all the marks. Even some of the crazier, surrealist stories still (mostly) managed to retain their awesome essence and humanity. Lots of great explorations in this collection to transhumanism, global development, Turing tests, etc.. Fucking godly stuff right here. Cannot wait for more...
