This was very nearly 5 stars. 4 novellas that are not so much science fiction as commentary on our time. An important commentary is held within these stories, to be sure. They are quick and entertaining reads. I did each one in a comfortable pre-bed reading session.
The first tale is about refugees and technology. About how freedom is actually free.
The second tale skewers the mythos of superheroes and about how there are just some problems you can't punch your way through.
The third tale is a rage inducing indictment of American healthcare and posits a situation that I am surprised we have not seen already.
The final tale takes on doomsday preppers and how, in a crisis, selfishness is not the way to go. This one is particulary apt right now.
I got this as a signed hardback (because they were going cheap) and it was well worth it. Definitely recommended.
