I have read more than 400 sci fi novels, so short stories are not my forte;however, I do read them occasionally, and Re: union was recommended by a friend. This was an engaging short story once I got past the confusion at the beginning. Liu created interesting characters and placed them in an interesting world with short food supply (disease had devastated food production). Troy, the main character, searches for Michelle in "Symspace," the place where a large amount of the population "live." Liu puts a new twist on an old theme--living in an apocalyptic world. It's a good read.
