Diverse Energies by Ursula K. Le Guin, Malinda Lo, Paolo Bacigalupi

4.0

This is a short story collection who's conceit is that it is not a story of straight western white males set in typical locations. Just having an exotic location or exotic names in a story does not make a good story. And just being in a specific location and therefore needing to be familiarized or confused by such a location does not make a good story. These stories however pretty much had what it takes. A bit darker than I look but otherwise - well-written, interesting, mostly by authors that I was not familiar with. In fact the LeGuin story was the only one by a prominent author and was one of the weakest in the collection (though not bad). Worth reading.
