![]() ![]() Ark changed my mind with a delicate and crushing story of a woman facing down the end of the world. I am not a fan of the Divergent series, and I am not familiar with anything else from Roth. I have to admit, I went into Ark expecting very little. David Harbour narrated (all of the adaptations have recognizable names) and he was great! He sounded so much like William Hurt, I was absolutely entranced. All of these stories are also available with audio narration, but I only listened to You Have Arrived at Your Destination– which was also the last of the collection for me. ![]() ![]() Being the racoon that I am, I then just grabbed whichever cover caught my eye and set myself upon devouring these stories in one sitting- which was the point! This collection was created to be a bite-sized collection like a spread of sci-fi tapas as opposed to a three-course space opera. I don’t think my experience suffered from it, other than the fact that I read what was clearly (and not surprisingly) the best piece first: N.K. The future isn’t that bad! Well, it is full of disasters- pandemic, plague, asteroids, climate change, robot uprising -but there are always sparks of humanity ready to push through none the less.Īmazon’s Forward collection, a group of five short stories from some big names, throw some big ideas out into the universe and let you, in a way, choose your own adventure! I suppose there is a “correct” order in which to read these, but I didn’t bother. ![]()
