Reception

Astounding reviewer P. Schuyler Miller praised the stories as providing "powerful and lasting stimulation to the imagination."[1]

gollark: Oh, a decent amount, they can use the APIs.
gollark: VoLTE does *not*, and neither does FM radio for some reason, but basically everything else works fine on sane devices.
gollark: With Treble, your phone vendor provides a vendor image on one partition containing something or other, and that provides a bunch of APIs to Android, and thus you can flash a generic system image onto any supported device and basically everything works.
gollark: Well, yours is old, although I think it has good custom ROM availability.
gollark: It's required for Android 8.1 and up with Google services.
