A new style of writing
First experience with Ken Liu, but looking forward to more from him.
The narration felt dry at a few places, but some of the stories were incredible.

Brilliant writing but not for the faint of heart
Ken Liu's writing and imagination are unparalleled. The writing lags a bit when he gets too overtly political, bit you will be transformed by this book. I had to skip some of the more graphic violence of torture, rape, etc., but he does not add it gratuitously. He speaks hard truths.

fantastic read
I was absolutely blown away by this collection of short stories. the themes and concepts explored in this book were fascinating, beautiful, devastating and forced the reader to consider some serious hypotheticals. Not every story is a 10 out of 10 but the ones which are will stay with you.
