'For millions of years, life on Earth has taken its cues from the rising and setting of the sun, and for most of human history we’ve followed the same rhythm. But if that shared connection was broken, and we each fell under the sway of our own private clock, could we still hold our lives together? One family is about to find out.'

review
— Appears in: Locus , March vol. 90 no. 3 2023; (p. 22)
— Review of Sleep and the Soul 2023 selected work short story Greg Egan’s Sleep and the Soul collects his very newest short-form work: nine stories originally published between 2019 and 2022, plus one that is, as of this writing, not even officially out yet. This is the seventh collection of Egan’s short work I have reviewed over nearly three decades, and I notice (again) how he demonstrates one of the fundamental generating mechanisms of science fiction: what Samuel Delany (and then Joanna Russ) called ‘‘subjunctivity,’’ the posing and elaborating of the conjectural what-ifs that generate enabling devices and story possibilities – the raw materials of ‘‘worldbuilding.’'(Introduction)
