Copy Me: & Other Science Fiction Stories

I was suggested this book by Amazon and after reading the 'Look Inside' decided to give it a go.I didn't realise that it was a collection of short stories (at least I don't remember if I knew that)These are more like very short stories or ideas than 'Novela'but they blew me away.....Each has a very defined theme, and each covers its topic just enough to leave you craving more.I enjoyed every word of every tale, however when I got to 'Third times a charm' I had to stop and take a breath, it made me think about life/religion/everything in an entirely different way. It hasn't changed my life, it's not the birth of a new way of thinking, but it is very very thought provoking. I have read the story several times and it doesn't get any less meaningful.Its such a shame the author has passed away, there are some amazing ideas in this book. Each story deserves to be elaborated on and the stories to be told in full.I have already recommended this book to several friends/family members and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who has an interest in thought provoking short stories.

Possibly my only criticism would be that some of the stories were too short. Some of them definitely have the potential to be made into novels which I would happily read. They are all based on thought provoking concepts that grab your attention, often with a nice little twist at the end.

I’ve read so much dross that calls itself science fiction but is little more than a romance dressed up in a space suit that when real science fiction gets dropped in my lap I almost can’t close my jaw for shock. Copy Me left my mouth hanging open. This is real science fiction.

The book blurb gives nothing away. It doesn't do a lot to sell the book either. It is a collection of science fiction short stories. It's a fine collection. It's what a connoisseur would call speculative science fiction, and a genuine pleasure to behold.

the title story - Copy Me - is magnificent. i've rarely read anything so prescient. the other stories are good, too - but Copy Me is simply the most intelligent, subversive story i've read for a very long time.

A fine collection of SciFi stories, with nods to social media, genetics, and future technology.I wonder if will seem dated in a dozen years or so?

I feel confident asserting the brilliance of this book. Kirkland’s writing is excellent. His descriptions of future tech and society are particularly strong. The book is welcome change from the typical sci-fi fare.

Brilliant science fiction you can safely share with every single member of your family and friends. I admire the boundaries that Copy Me pushes without ever being vulgar.
