I absolute adored Ken Liu's first short story collection, The Paper Menagerie, so I was thrilled to see he had another one coming out. Taken as an entire collection, I didn't like this one quite as much at the first, but I still really enjoyed it, and Liu is one of my favorite short fiction writers currently working today. His background in coding and tech was quite apparent in many of these stories, a majority of which focused on the Singularity and its implications. Some of my favorite stories were "Maxwell's Demon," "The Reborn," "Byzantine Empathy," "Dispatches from the Cradle," "The Hidden Girl," and "The Message."
