I am a huge fan of science fiction and post-apocalyptic stories and this collection was right up my alley. Other reviewers have already given synopsis of these tales so I'll just stick to my own opinions regarding the stories.This is a great collection of stories. What impressed me the most was the sheer creativity the author displays here. The core concepts are truly excellent, especially The Earth Equation. Furthermore, the author backs up these awesome premises with good writing- the character development is solid, the descriptions are rich without being overly wordy and the endings are satisfying. All of these elements combine to make one of the most enjoyable short story collections I have read in some time.My only complaint was the length. I was enjoying the stories so much that when I finished the last one and got to the previews of the author's other books, I was bummed. I wanted more! This author seems focused on writing novels right now (if you haven't heard of it, check outPLAZA) but I hope to see another short story collect from this author, based on how much I enjoyed this one.Highly recommended for fans of science fiction (especially dystopian sci-fi) as well as readers who appreciate good writing coupled with creative and imaginative concepts.
