"Despite the lack of the explicitly fantastical the stories in this volume are definitely speculative and, above all, fabulous, in all senses of the word. It is not just that they are neatly constructed and thought provoking but that, above all, they are immensely entertaining. This is by far one of the best collections I’ve read in a long, long while."—Steven French, British Science Fiction Association"Goldschmidt employs a collage technique, with many of the stories composed of short scenes and images. Her use of form can be delightfully inventive."—Philip Womack, Times Literary Supplement"This is a collection focused on people and science, frequently based on historical fact, and concerned with how the stories of science have overwritten—or, alternately, underwritten—personal histories."—Octavia Cade, Strange Horizons"Many of the stories mimic the conventions of scientific writing, but [Goldschmidt] never loses sight of the humanity of her characters. Instead, her precise and technical prose works reflexively to interrogate the violence and erasures of mainstream science. Taken collectively, this engrossing collection creates a mosaic of situated perspectives on science that is surely more than the sum of its parts."—Libby O'Neil, Full Stop
