Short story - was excellent for passing part of a sleepless night. The story doesn't have very deep characters - nor very believable ones. I'd like to think of this story as a parable and for that neither is really a big issue.
Short story SF/ fantasy story that ends with a firm plot twist - not unlike those in the author's larger works (mistborn trilogy, the storm light archive).
Short and simple, some additional details towards the Cytoverse but I wouldn't consider it core reading.
Awesome! It was the perfect read after [b:Skyward|36642458|Skyward (Skyward, #1)|Brandon Sanderson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1531845177s/36642458.jpg|58411143]. It is very short, but very stylish, and explains a lot about what lies outside of the YA bubble of Detritus's atmosphere.
I'm even more hyped now for more books in this universe! It poses interesting sci-fi-political questions. Which civilizations are a risk to other civilizations? Which are worth protecting? Can there be peace and harmony? Skyward didn't tell us about these questions, but in retrospect it's headed directly toward the same discussion. And book 2 is already done and coming this year!
