The first is called Paper Menagerie and Other Stories, which is by Ken Liu. This is kind of sci-fi, but honestly, I've recommended this to a ton of people, including getting a copy for 10 before, and um they've loved it.
Why people recommend it
The Hidden Girl and Other Stories by Ken Liu is a captivating collection of speculative fiction that explores the intersection of advanced technology, human emotion, and diverse cultural landscapes. When discussing his favorite fun and fiction reads on The Tim Ferriss Show in April 2020, during episode #420, Matt Mullenweg enthusiastically recommended the author's work, though he mistakenly referred to the volume by the title of a previous collection, Paper Menagerie and Other Stories. Mullenweg noted that while the book falls into the science fiction genre, its emotional resonance and imaginative storytelling make it universally appealing. He emphasized his genuine appreciation for the stories by mentioning that he had recommended the book to a multitude of people over the years and had even purchased physical copies for at least ten friends to ensure they experienced the writing. Mullenweg's endorsement highlighted the rare ability of the author's narrative style to transcend traditional genre boundaries, captivating even those readers who might not typically gravitate toward speculative fiction. The collection stands out for its poignant examinations of identity, memory, and the human cost of technological innovation, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who encounters its pages.
