Post a Comment On: A Nod to Nothing

[Image] I finished Meet Me in the Future, a collection of short stories by Kameron Hurley.  It's a great collection, although I liked the second half better than the first half.   The Corpse Archive (about recording history on bodies), Enyo-Enyo (which my spellcheck keeps trying to make Enjoy-Enjoy) about a time looping anti-Tardis (in a way) as a punishment, The War of Heroes (about what war does to you and myths of growth through conflict), and The Light Brigade (again, about war and corporatism) were my favorites.  That's not to say I didn't like the earlier stories, and those set in her shared world of plagues and body hopping were good fiction.  There's a lot of herself wrapped up in the basic feel of her stories.  She says as much in her intro.  Health.  Disease.  And health and disease as they affect the individual and the communal.
