Oh I liked this more than I expected! I am not used to short stories and thought I would read it quickly, but I needed some time to recover from each one. Surprised by how many stories used SF elements, felt a bit like Black Mirror in parts. Mostly, damn, Saunders is inspiring by how effective he is. Not a word wasted. Especially 'Home' was almost bewilderingly quick witted. These stories aren't remarkable as such, but the writing was so engaging to me and the title story left me teary.
