#8 Central Station by Lavie Tidhar

This is a set of interlocking short stories that take place in Tel Aviv of the future. There is a space station above it so it is a hub of travel for people coming from the colonies to return home. The stories all are connected to one family that lives there. Most of the stories have been published before but a few are new to this collection.  It isn’t all life and death stories some are quiet gems about birth, death, and religion.  This isn’t a huge sprawling world you see, it is a close to home slice of the future and is rather fun to read how we will change as a society because of what we did when we fought wars, came up with new technologies and met new species.  I did like that even in the far future there were still book collectors. And enjoyable read and makes me want to pick up more of the author’s stuff.
