Sims has an amazing vocabulary. I tried not to get frustrated by it, but I didn't always succeed. Had I not been reading a library book or reading in bed before sleeping, I would have about 30 new words in my repertoire.

For my reading taste, some of the stories were more interesting in their premise than in their execution. My recollection is that many (most?) of the stories took place in the mind (the story was a description of the protagonist's thoughts), and that can become tedious. Lots of meta thinking, at times interesting. I kept thinking "thought experiments," but that's not accurate. It felt like that though.

Expect haunting, premonitions of death, inescapable events, thoughts becoming reality. There are some interesting comparisons, such as writer's block and animal camouflage.

Quotes

"The law of communication is that to hear is to speak, and to speak is to pass the burden of speaking to whoever has heard you, as in a room of men who have been given the word hello." (98)

"To flee from Death is just to jog in place. Spinning inside one's dying." (134)
