''The Fabric of Community'' is my favourite section with ''Friday Night at the Horse and Zoom'' by Peter Baran extending the way that zoom calls were used in the pandemic. My absolute favourite from the book is ''Accept all Cookes'' by Liam hogan - because it gave me hope.
''The Digitisation of Central Money '' goes further than looking at the possible development of Bitcoin and its siblings. I loved Eva Pascoe's call for revolution in ''The Summoned'' and the introduction to shame laundering in Stephen Oram's ''Failing Fathers'' when the descendants of those who have done other communities wrong are having to physically pay off the debt decades or centuries later. My favourite is ''Heartbeat'' by Wendy M Grossman where health data is linked to payment data - and actions restricted in certain circumstances. This is brilliantly written and I could feel the fear of the heroine coming off the page.
Each section is pulled together by an ''Afterword''. They're all thought-provoking and highlight points that you might have missed: I loved the way that they pushed my mind into unvisited corners.
For more science fiction short stories we can recommend [[Exhalation by Ted Chiang]].
