Each story has a short intro by the author, which give some useful context, as well as the strong indication that short fiction was not Turner's strength.
The last story, "The Fittest", starts in 2023, where the climate crisis has wreaked more havoc than we see today, but is still a chilling forcast as to what might happen (the forecasting of 60m of sea level rise, which has not yet happened, but which I think appears in the novel derived from this -- The Drowning Towers--being higher than the more recent forecasts I've seen).
Overall: Turner's writing is good, the plots are mediocre, the world building is good, and the characters are all horrible people. ( )
