Most of these stories didn't quite click for me, but Open was excellent. I also liked Standard Loneliness Package. It's weird, because I liked the concepts and I have been thinking about it now that I'm finished, but I didn't find them compelling as I was reading them. Maybe an audiobook is just the wrong way to read reflective or speculative fiction. I think they got bleaker as the collection went on and the last one was jarring.
