Disturbingly weird?

3 stars

I don't usually read short stories but this one was recommended to me. Maybe I had too high expectations? Anyway, I enjoyed the first stories "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate", "Exhalation" and the "The Lifecycle of Software Objects" and "Dacey's Patent Automatic Nanny". But I had a hard time engaging with all the other stories. I didn't find the ideas that interesting and for the most part, I didn't care at all about the characters/narrator of the story. Most of the stories were disturbingly weird to me. I was a little bit disappointed overall.
