All of the stories really connected to me because they all deal with subjects of science fiction I am incredibly interested in. They deeply explore the human condition in unique and interesting ways and expand my thinking in ways that I enjoy reading tremendously.
Despite being a translation of the Chinese author's short stories, one can very clearly see the writing style of the author through the text. It is an intensely gripping style that has a lot of technical language, yet still paints a vivid picture in the mind of a person. I like this style a lot, and will look for other books in this style of writing.
pickIt's been a slow reading month for me, and it's taken most of it to work through this collection of short stories. OTOH, the longer time frame has given me time to ponder each story before starting the next, which was a good thing to do with these idea-driven tales. This is very much my thing and it's recommended for other readers who value "sense of wonder" un-ironically.
