Big Brother Is Watching: The Censorship Board in "Prior Restraint" watches various authors and prevents certain books they think will negatively impact the world from being published. Not to mention arranging a car accident to kill a boy who would have grown up to be the greatest writer alive.

comment
People Farms: "Fat Farm" has the protagonist be taken away to a building where the obese are essentially kept as livestock. "Kingsmeat" has an alien "king and queen" being convinced by a human they were about to eat to eat only parts of their human livestock and leave them alive rather than kill and eat them all.

Audio Adaptation: This collection has been turned into an audiobook, where Orson Scott Card reads the introduction and afterward, but the stories are read by professional narrators.

Divided for Publication: This collection was originally published as a single volume, but it has also been published as four books (The Changed Man, Flux, Monkey Sonatas, and Cruel Miracles) and as two separate volumes (Volume 1, containing parts 1 and 2, and Volume Two, containing parts 3 and 4). Only the full, undivided editions contain "Lost Songs: The Hidden Stories".

Fetus Terrible: "Eumenides in the Fourth Floor Lavatory" features creatures menacing the protagonist that take the form of horribly deformed fetuses that are halfway between this and an Enfant Terrible.

comment
And I Must Scream: "Kingsmeat" has a man convince human-eating aliens to eat only pieces of the men and women of a human colony. The people of the colony are naturally pissed about this, but the authorities decide the man was in the right and order the colony to keep him alive as long as medically possible. They do so... after removing all the parts not strictly necessary to survive.
