Stories About Kids Stealing Things is a collection of seven short stories. They're not all about kids stealing things, but most of them are. Two teens take climate justice into their own hands by stealing from the rich and giving to themselves; AI can't drive worth a damn; bearing someone else's nostalgia for a world long dead; don't let someone slip a love potion in your cup; your awful ex-boss is running for governor of your failing state, better stop him; privatized firefighting and year-long fires; don't predict the future, predict the prophecy.
These are stories about people with very little ability to control their own lives, and no ability to control the world at large. They are going to try anyway.
