Machine Learning: New and Collected Stories
Machine Learning: New and Collected Stories | Hugh Howey
3 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
A new collection of stories, including some that have never before been seen, from the New York Times best-selling author of the Silo trilogy Hugh Howey is known for crafting riveting and immersive page-turners of boundless imagination, spawning millions of fans worldwide, first with his best-selling novel Wool, and then with other enthralling works such as Sand and Beacon 23. Now comes Machine Learning, an impressive collection of Howey's science fiction and fantasy short fiction, including three stories set in the world of Wool, two never-before-published tales written exclusively for this volume, and fifteen additional stories collected here for the first time. These stories explore everything from artificial intelligence to parallel universes to video games, and each story is accompanied by an author's note exploring the background and genesis of each story. Howey's incisive mind makes Machine Learning: New and Collected Stories a compulsively readable and thought-provoking selection of short works--from a modern master at the top of his game.

First month of 2020 in the books, so to speak. Much goodness. Yasmine and Hugh wrote my favs of the month. Stars represent my rating on Goodreads. #januarywrapup

A solid collection! If you were a fan of the Wool trilogy, this book is worthwhile just for the three related stories - "In the Woods" is sort of an epilogue. I found all 21 stories to be worthwhile and thought-provoking. The quote on the front of my book by Ernest Cline (Ready Player One) sums Machine Learning up perfectly for me, "...reading the stories in this collection is like discovering an entire lost season of The Twilight Zone.”
