On your left, post-human hedonists on a distant space station bring diseases back into fashion, two scavengers find a super-powered parasite under the waves of Sunk Seattle, and a terminally-ill chemist orchestrates an asteroid prison break. On your right, an alien optometrist spins illusions for irradiated survivors of the apocalypse, a high-tech grifter meets his match in near-future Thailand, and two teens use a blackmarket personality mod to get into the year's wickedest, wildest party.

More a 3.5* Beautiful stories, most of them dystopian and, well, depressing. Even those that have a not so bad ending are still imbued in fatalism (except for 2-3 stories).
Still, I can't say that I didn't appreciate it. Rich Larson is a wonderful writer. I wouldn't mind reading other works from him. Just... not when my mood is down lol!
