3 Stories about reality & unreality. They're dark, they have twists, and they're mind benders. The Duncan story & the Gran'pa story are kind of twilight zone-ish, & pretty solidly what I expect from Gene Yang (that is, nuts). Janet's story was more like the beginning of the Matrix, if Keanu never met Agent Smith or Morpheus. If I were younger and less well-read & versed in literary tropes, I would have thought Janet's story had a much darker ending than the authors intended, but even now I still think it's the darkest of the 3.
