I absolutely flew through this. Despite the short stories being about tough topics, they were written in a way that made them very easy to digest.

I didn't find many of them overly relatable as they were mostly written about things I hadn't experienced.

The three stand out stories for me were:
Whirlpool
Static 
Seventy Two Derwents
