Soothing but well-paced, and full of three-dimensional characters and interesting topics. A very fine short story collection with a common thread that shows how science broadens our horizon (both time- and space-wise) and connects us with one another and the world around us. #読了
Taylor Drew@kojinmanus I've read two short story collections of his and they were very fun! Definitely looking forward to reading more of his work.
@mollymay5000 I have one of his novels on my shelf which I haven't read yet, but now that this has won the Naoki I'm gonna read this first. What I've read about this sounds really intriguing so I'm already excited
