Reviews

""The essays, poems, and stories in this dazzling anthology of Pushcart Prize winners explore a fascination with technology’s darker side and anxieties about being made obsolete. The pieces are frequently mesmerizing, and the recurring themes create an intriguing sense of continuity. Not only does this collection fascinate, but it testifies to the riches on offer from small presses and literary journals."" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
