I really enjoyed it. The stories are short speculative/science fiction with interesting concepts. Some of them are kind of unsettling, like "Cripes, does anyone remember Google People?" but all of them are very thought-provoking. I can’t wait to try qntm's other stories.

I didn't finish it at 100 pages. I quite enjoyed the first book but this one felt strange, the protagonist (Din) turned into a promiscuous, bitter young man whose sexual exploits didn't interest me in the slightest.

All in all, it was an uncomfortable read for me.
