Critics Review
A thoughtful, innovative and queer collection of stories that use futuristic technology in personal ways - from a non-binary teenager getting a mod to inherit the voice of someone deceased, to interstellar penpals. The stories range in scope from intimate and personal to far-reaching and society-breaking. Joyfully queer and diverse, this is a jump forward into a bright and colourful world. – Lauren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe
