2.0

There was a point in this book that come in a lot of books I read: I thought, Pearse, why are you reading this? Are there not better books you could be reading? I think the issue here was quantity. Laidlaw had some great stories; 400 Boys had this great early cyberpunk/retrofuturistic aesthetic I dig dig dig. But 50 more stories? It was a bit much to slog through his worse works. I'm sorry. Not terrible writing at all, but this collection gets a 5/10.
