An entertaining read, but uneven, as anthologies often are. The stories lean heavily dystopian, with only a couple positive visions of a possible future of the US.

This whole book is in verse -- modern verse, not necessarily rhyming. It has a very distinct... mouthfeel? vibe? atmosphere? Melancholic and thoughtful and deeply felt and ultimately hopeful. Loved it.

Very satisfying murder mystery story, set in space and with great characters. Would read a Mallory Viridian novel again.

Some interesting insights, but uneven

Some interesting analysis and first-person observations of recent uprising-ish events like Occupy, the Ferguson riots and some others. Some interesting writing at times, which at times also felt a little bit too enamored with itself. I found it repetitive at times, but overall a worthwhile read.
