Short stories that stick like tar and a final piece that's prescient enough to think about for years.

This one will stick with you like tar (and sorta like Tár). Dark and deep and an unsettling set of short stories that semi-weave together.
The short stories in here all have their own depravity that is both insightful, illuminating, and deeply depressing. And they're all very well written, perfectly capturing contemporary modern life and the loneliness epidemic.
But that last story... Incredibly prescient and the one I've been thinking about frequently (on top of the other, more revolting and embarrassing things now embedded in my head thanks to this read).
