Machine Learning: New and Collected Stories by Hugh HoweyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Machine Learning: New and Collected Stories by Hugh Howey is a collection of short(ish) stories, some from the Wool universe. Wool was the first thing I read by Hugh Howey, and I was eager to see what else he had in mind for that world. No spoilers, but OOF. So good, so dark. All of these stories were new to me. I found them all really enjoyable in different ways, especially anything about a video game or a virtual world. When I was younger, I would have skipped over the in-between bits about how the story came about. I didn't care as long as the story was good. As I get older, I find these parts, what brought a writer to this story, are almost more interesting to me than the stories themselves. You can learn so much about a person from what they manifest from an experience. I also learned that the next time Hugh Howey needs someone to sail around the world with him, sign me up!
