Unfortunately the formatting of the ebook was very bad but the book was interesting enough to keep going.

Captain …
An interesting plot and characters overall. However the main character's air of superiority and attitude towards the female lead character through most of the book kept pulling me out of the tale. The character was deliberately written that way and does eventually change a little bit it was very distracting for me.

All three novellas are very good.

“Dispersion” is about a planet inhabited by six groups that are cyclically intangible and invisible to each other. Then a new disease spreads among all six groups and the race is on to find the cause and a cure. Very good descriptions of how the six groups cyclically are able to interact.
“Phoresis” tells of two tidally locked planets where one is slowly becoming uninhabitable. Interesting and courageous folks explore possible solutions and work to make them happen.

DEATH is still my favorite character.
A very well done story exploring social identity, reckoning with past mistakes, coming to forgive yourself and others for mistakes. All wrapped up in an engaging story to unravel the mystery behind a failed space colony.
Be warned that christianity is part of some of the social identity story line. It came on a little strong at first and had me wondering if this was a book with a hidden proselytizing agenda. Thankfully that was not the case.
Excellent coverage of a wide variety of science topics from Quanta Magazine over the past five years. Is you enjoy this book them I highly recommend that you look for the Quanta Science Podcast.
