Really loved the concept behind this (series of short stories, followed by a non-fic essay on the technologies central to each), but it really fell short in execution.

The stories were pretty unimaginative re-hashes of the usual discussion around tech. Deep fakes & the media; AI parenting our kids; all very... typical.

The fiction was also haphazardly written. Rather than subtly setting up a device or conceit, the author would just add "Luckily, Bob remembered that...." before throwing in the needed element. However, my biggest complaint is that the fiction just like it was written without any passion or vision. Just "what's a story I could wrap around this tech concept". It felt like reading a student's essay they were forced to write but really didn't want to.
