This was a bit disappointing compared to the planetfall novels! Many of the stories feel like perfunctory writing exercises, elaborating on very minor characters (for example, the person running the grocery truck that Carl buys food from at the beginning of After Atlas) who don't have much of anything interesting going on.

However, I quite liked the first story and the author interview at the end! They were worth the price of admission for me.

"Tailor Made" -- a story about a man who designs adverts for clothing produced in sweatshops, who is forced to reckon with the choices he makes -- was also a fun read, simple but cathartic.
