After the Apocalypse

As with many short story collections, this one was hit-or-miss for me. The stories that resonated were fantastic, even though several of the other stories felt very much like half-completed stories (Going to France, in particular). That said, the entire book is worth the two best stories (Honeymoon, The Kingdom of the Blind)–one of which is a sort of first-contact story about communicating with an accidentally human-built A.I., which was just fantastic.
