Impressive collection with great variety, and stories which are both fun and thoughtful.

Williams treats us to a bit of everything: techno-thriller, alternate history, cyberpunk, near-future social satire, far-future space opera and super-hero origin story. (Have I missed anything?) Every story won't appeal to every reader, but any reader can recognize that every story is well-crafted, and offers an interesting "taster" in some sub-genres that you might not otherwise try.
