What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘These stories are equally unnerving and tender, and a reminder that what we ultimately long for is human connection.’

‘These are deeply imaginative and compelling stories, written with exquisite poise, that bring the speculative and uncanny very close to home. Weinstein is here to remind us that questions of technology, of the future of our world, are also, always, questions of human intimacy and human care.’ * Jennifer Mills *
Universal Love reveals a writer of empathic imagination and dauntless inventiveness, with a knack for probing unexplored horizons in the co-evolution of humanity and technology.’ * Age/SMH *
