Ambiguity Machines and Other Stories

4/5 ( ratings)

In her first North American collection, Vandana Singh’s deep humanism and scientific background intersect in stories that celebrate characters who are trying to make sense of the people they meet, what they see, and the challenges they face in this world and others.

In “Requiem”, a woman goes to Alaska to try and make sense of her aunt’s disappearance. An eleventh century poet wakes to find he is as an artificially intelligent companion on a starship. A woman of no account has the ability to look into the past.

Singh's work dives into the vast strangeness of the universe without and within, and she unblinkingly explores the ways we move through space and time: together, yet always apart.
