This book taught me how much our technolagy has and can evolve in the next 50-100 years of our lives. Also I learned that we are and have been trying to invent a "super-solider" that should take the place of a human bieng and replace it with a robot.
A mixed bag, some great, some not so much. The good ones made up for the weaker. Nearly all authors were from England, which was interesting, as they seem to have a different feel than American SF.
ci voleva proprio di tornare a leggere racconti brevi di fantascienza ... piccole gemme che portano in mondi lontani fantastici e che hanno sempre un finale un po a sorpresa
Stopped at a very bizarre metafiction story involving science fiction writers as characters in another writer's novel. It gave me a headache. Otherwise, the stories were succinct, well-written, and thought-provoking
This was a hodgepodge collection of stories... Most of them were pretty good, a few were very good. Some were disturbing, but in a good way.
Discussed at SF Gospel:
"I was surprised at the number of stories in The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction that include religious themes, both explicit and implicit."

Read and at least somewhat enjoyed nine of the 16 stories. Very much enjoyed two or three of those 9.
