Appraisal:
When I decided to give this short collection a read, I was looking for
a change of pace. Something that wasn’t one of the genres I gravitate to most
often. Something different. This definitely fit that. The future world where
these stories take place is different in many ways from today’s, but as the description
indicates, they’re also inspired by the events of 2020. The people in the stories
may live in a vastly different world, but they’re still human, and still react
in many of the same ways. The things that are good about humans and the things
that irritate the heck out of us are still there. The stories may make you
laugh, they may make you think. Both applied to me at times, but most
importantly I was entertained and got that change of pace I was hoping for.
