18. The Egg and Other Stories by Andy Weir

listened on Audible
1:17 audio - 9 VERY short stories.....50 pgs.?
2017
Adult SciFi Short Story
Finished 3/2/24
Goodreads rating: 3.96
My rating: 3

My comments: Nine very short stories.  My favorite was the first, "Access."  Am man goes to work early one day and discovers a 23-year-old in his office.  They have an interesting conversation and the last sentence of the story, the twist, is a hoot.  That's what really stood out, the twist at the very end of each of the stories.  Some were better than others, of course.

Goodreads synopsis:  Collected for the first time anywhere, the nine tales in The Egg and Other Stories highlight Andy Weir's trademark wit and unexpected twists. For the few who have yet to experience The Martian, it's a perfect appetizer. For passionate Weir fans, it's a delicious dessert.
