The stories in this collection were hit or miss to me. My favorites were “Rovers,” and “A Sudden Displacement of Matter.” The thing that this collection does extremely well is trans/non-binary representation. I can see this being a much loved volume for a young sci-fi fan who misses seeing themself on the page in more mainstream works.
