Reviews
"Pairing scientific precision with emotional insight, this accessible anthology makes a powerful case for featured author Nancy Kress's assertion that 'stories are made out of and for people.' Readers will be captivated." -- Publishers Weekly , STARRED REVIEW "The 10 very different thought experiments presented in this volume make for a fun ride, revealing that human relationships will continue to be as complicated and affirming in the future as they are today. I would recommend the Netflix approach to this highly readable collection: Binge it in one go, preferably with a friend." -- Science "All told, Entanglements is a massively successful anthology, one which should put MIT Press on everyone's radar." -- Lightspeed "These books are always something to look forward to..." -- Locus, "Pairing scientific precision with emotional insight, this accessible anthology makes a powerful case for featured author Nancy Kress's assertion that 'stories are made out of and for people.' Readers will be captivated." -- Publishers Weekly , STARRED REVIEW
