I finished reading Enriquez's _A Sunny Place for Shady People_. I had a tough time getting into the earlier stories in the collection but loved the later ones. Next, I am looking for the Enriquez's other short story collection, _The Dangers of Smoking in Bed_.

Just received the first volume, and damn, clearly a ton of effort was put into it!
There's a ~90 page intro to "foundations of complexity science" (which is also sold separately).
(The super interesting) papers each have a 5-10 page intro with historical context, and are full of annotations ❤️
