review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of stories. Bacigalupi has an impressive imagination, creating a multitude of bleak alternate universes in which his characters operate. For me there were a few standouts here: Pop Squad, in which immortality is a reality and breeding is illegal, The People of Sand and Slag, where futuristic soldiers stumble across a living relic of the past, and the two stories set in the world of his novel The Windup Girl, The Calorie Man and Yellow Card Man. I would recommend this to any fan of dystopian and/or post-apocalyptic science fiction.
review 2: Collection of short stories. Most seem to happen in the same universe but they are all independent stories.Linked stories are not in chronological order, which is a bit strange. If there ... moreis a logic behind the actual order, I did not understand it.Each short story explore a different theme, from what it means to be human to North/South relation through terrorism and transnational companies power, etc.Very interesting and well written. less
