This book was a hit and miss collection of stories for me. While none of the stories represented any new works by any of the authors in it many are stories that were in small works and are very interesting now to read. Specifically some of the big names such as Orson Scott Card give exotic stories from their works into this collection. I thought some of the stories were cheesy or rather juvenile also but that did not leave me disliking this collection very much at all. Enjoyable and quick reading!

I specifically liked some of the ones by authors I had not heard of such as "Sunday Night Yam at Minnie and Earl's" by Adam-Troy Castro and "Swarm" by Bruce Sterling.
