Children of the New World

I picked up this book because of a comparison a podcast host made between it and some of George Saunders more speculative short stories. Weinstein's tales begin with technological twists on our present world. The near, believable futures told in these memorable tales, led me to wonder: What if we really could see our screens on the inside of our eyelids? Will we someday feel grief when our AI servants or “friends” reach the end of their functional lives? And, from the last story in the anthology, what would it be like to live through another “Ice Age?” Thoughtful and thought-provoking stories which remain with the reader long after the final page is turned.
