A darkly mesmerizing, fearless, and exquisitely written work. Stunning, harrowing, and brilliantly imagined. Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven [Weinstein's] stories look like SF consider the childless couple living in a virtual-reality community whose child there is wiped out by a computer virus but read like literary fiction. Calling all fans of Margaret Atwood and Emily St. John Mandel. Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal Prepub Alert In Alexander Weinstein's debut collection, the future is a frightening and familiar place. Weinstein takes our uneasy truce with technology and blows it up, giving us child robots and ice worlds and the dark aftermath of failed revolutions. The collection is nothing short of a gorgeous new cold war, pitting us both with and against the science that threatens to become not-so-fictional every day. Amber Sparks, author of The Unfinished World: And Other Stories
