kleonard's review against another edition
5.0
Strahan is a reliable editor, and brings home another win with this collection. I love the mix of perspectives this volume brings, and I am always partial to Meg Eilison and Yoon Ha Lee. I'm ready for my panda-shaped support bot and am delighted by so many stories that could be labeled "hopepunk"--a term that's gotten a drubbing recently for being Pollyannish, but is a new genre that so many readers have found solace and comfort in recently. I can't wait to discuss these stories with friends; this will be a great book club book.

Favorites from the collection:
A Guide for Working Breeds by Vina Jie-Min Prasad – I know this one was sappy but it still made me tear up with happy tears.
The Pill by Meg Elison
It Came from Cruden Farm by Max Barry – I laughed so hard at this one!!
GO. NOW. FIX. by Timons Esaias – Another sappy one that just gave all the feels.
How to Pay Reparations: A Documentary by Tochi Onyebuchi – A delightful, although dark, mix of reality and absurdity.

One of the best sci-fi anthologies I've read for a long time, mostly because of the diverse range of authors. I only skipped on story as not appealing to my tastes.
