Can't believe I read this beast of a book in 2025, but once I got started it was hard to put down. And the short story anthology format meant that even if a story dragged a bit, it ended soon. Here are some of the tales and authors that jumped out as new (to me, at least) and worth exploring some more in addition to many greats.

  • "Operation Daniel" – Kalid Kaki
  • "Crispr Than You" – Ganzeer
  • "Wi-Fi Dreams" – Fabio Fernandez
  • "Aboukela52" – Wole Talabi
  • "Keep Portland Wired" – Michael Moss
  • "The Endless" – Saad Hossain
  • "The Girl Who Was Plugged In" – James Tiptree, Jr. (this author's back story is wild)
  • "I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter" – Isabel Fall

So, what have you been reading that you've not been able to put down?
