The best thing of this book was that after reading WATA I kept thinking that the "sluggers" were in Henry's mind, I found it very hard that all the sci-fi part of the story was real, but tah-dah! This very short story clarified that...I find it intriguing the "Slugger's" options they gave people...I'd love to have a second book following that part of the story just to get to know what they are doing and what they are planning with all those kidnaps and mind testing situations.

WOW THIS IS GOOD!

I loved how the short stories in this short story mirrors the person's heart's desires and the difficult choices and decisions he need to make.

God, I can't explain it well.

This short story didn't add much, but it was still worth reading. This short story puts a bunch of people in a position where they have to make tough choices, much like Henry's decision in "We Are the Ants." Interesting to imagine what you would do if you were put in the same position as the characters.

With this one, I'd say read it if you feel like it, skip it if you don't. You can read it on SimonTeen's website: https://simonteen.com/2016/08/11/read-what-we-pretend-to-be-a-new-we-are-the-ants-short-story/

Es interesante ver las decisiones que tomaron otras personas que pasaron por el mismo proceso que Henry. Y el ver la primera vez de Henry, como al finalizar la petición que les hizó es probablemente el por que le dieron la opción de apretar o no lo el botón.
