I don’t think I’ve ever read a collection like this before, written by different people but set within the same “world”. I mostly enjoyed it but lost momentum at times, I think I needed a more cohesive thread between the stories to link them. Sometimes the world was a dystopian place, and sometimes it was a magical fantasy place, sometimes both. The ground shifted a bit too much for me to follow what was going on.
I also struggled with the “dirty computer” concept. I still don’t get why that particular phrase was used, it doesn’t make sense to me. The rest was pretty good dystopian fiction and I love the POC, trans, queer and non binary representation throughout the stories.
