This must have been a bad year for sci-fi, bc most of these stories really suck. Unless one really likes hard sf, then you might like these stories...but I do not. Really, one worse than the next. The two notable exceptions which are decent are Robert Reed's 'Game of the Century' and Chris Lawson's 'written in blood'.
David Nichols
Two memorable stories in this collection: Terry Bisson's "Macs" (particularly resonant if you're old enough to remember the main character), and Tom Purdom's "Fossil Games."
