“Edit: ok actually after a few days I am going to list my favorites, the ones I’ve continued to think about! Again there was something I loved about each story but these (in no particular order) stood out to me:
- Loss of Signal
- Contingency Plans for the Apocalypse
- Nava
- Binaries
- Ships in the Night
- Soft We Wake
This is a really interesting collection of speculative fiction. I appreciate how Divya consciously placed queerness and disability at the heart of each of her stories. Each story deals with vast technological and fantastical changes to the world but asks the simple question of “what’s it like to live there?” I felt like some of them ended too quickly, but maybe it’s a good thing that they left me wanting to know more. I was going to list my favorites, but there’s something I love about them all so I don’t think I could!”
