I read 'The Windup Girl' and enjoyed it very much - but this collection of short stories confirms Bacigalupi as one of my very favorite authors. The stories themselves are cautionary, often heartbreaking - but the fact that they exist is something that truly makes me happy. I guess I've felt that many of my favorite current authors have passed away fairly recently, and others are inevitably reaching the end of their careers... it's good to see someone this competent taking on the mantle of thoughtful but utterly humanist sf.
