Sometimes I think that translated fiction is too smart for me - especially those that are within the dystopian science fiction sub-genre. This was a case where I thought the ideas were interesting but the interconnected short stories format (not in chronological order) really had me confused.
There were some stories that I found more interesting than other - specifically Testimony (humans that evolved to photosynthesize) and Destination (origin of AI and 'The Mothers'). But others left me utterly confused and, to be honest, quite sleepy.
