OMG, this is THE ONE WITH 'PRESS ENTER' by John Varley. So although I don't remember all the stories, I know most of them are wonderful. Plus, IT'S GOT 'PRESS ENTER'!

February 21, 2021Picked this book out of a Free Library as I was between books and this was a very fun read of SciFi short stories from 1984. They were all different and all from different authors which added to the fun. A very good read!
