Ten of the best non-full-novel pieces hand-picked from Baoshu's first decade of SciFi writing. Not necessarily the best ten - a few really good pieces are not included because they have repeated too many times in his collections published in the past - but every single one is a real gem, and more or less evenly spaced from that decade, thus providing a good glimpse into the path of his growth (spoiler: he started with the bar already high).
