The book was fine, but not really anything special. The short story 'Soldier' by Harlan Ellison was definitely the highlight of the book. Thoughprovoking and great world building. But sadly very, very short.

There are 4 long stories in here, by 4 different authors. It's interesting because by the time you get to the last one (John M. Ford), you realize how much more adept he is as a writer than everyone else who contributed to this book. The others stories had interesting premises and keep you reading, but the dialog and character development is just worlds apart in his story. I can't remember why I picked this up in the first place, though...
