By Izumi Suzuki~ Short science fiction stories exploring questions of gender, the future, and the impermanence of life and our planet. Fatalistic in a way that makes u examine your own ways of being. Give it a read!
“Like most people these days, I don’t overthink things. I’ll go along with whatever. No firm beliefs, no hang-ups. Just a lack of self-confidence tangled up in fatalistic resignation. Whatever the situation, nothing ever reaches me on an emotional level. Nothing’s important. Because I won’t let it be. I operate on mood alone. No regrets, no looking back. Before me, the world stretches out flat, smooth and featureless. Gentle and inconstant.”

elisug this one! The idea of basically losing someone (death of some sorts) but not quite being able to process it as such cause they’re alive??? wild My favorite one was the one about the family cosplaying humans

this book reminded me a lot of Anna Kavan’s short stories. So if you’re looking for more bleak and mysterious writing, check her out. Oh and her novel Ice, too.

Sad and lonely sci-fi that is surprisingly fresh for being written over four decades ago.

a compilation of short science fiction stories from the 60s/70s I wanna say. primarily centered around the negative consequences of technology, some surprisingly relevant anti-fossil fuel, AI, and surveillance state themes but with varying levels of sci-fi/noir tropes. feels like proto-cyberpunk
