A rather depressing set, this.

  1. Rabbit Test, by Samantha Mills. An angry story, which feels very contemporary in its politics.
  2. Zhurong on Mars, Regina Kanyu Wang. Based on a Chinese folk tale, but set on Mars; I'm not sure why "they" wouldn't have worked for Zhurong.
  3. D.I.Y., John Wiswell. A rather bleak future, where IP is more important than drinking water.
  4. Resurrection, Ren Qing, translated by Blake Stone-Banks. Another bleak story; a soldier is brought back to life, but to what end?
  5. The White Cliff, by Lu Ban. Interesting reflections on palliative care, spoiled by a very bad translation.
  6. On the Razor’s Edge, by Jiang Bo. A hazardous space mission, again let down by the translation.
