Reviews

[Annie · Rating 3 out of 5]

There were some really good short stories in this set. I loved the twist in the story "The Protected", by Paul Levinson, and "Left Foot on a Blind Man" by Julie Czerneda was both humorous and thought-provoking. While most stories lauded the benefits of both robots and androids, "Horsepower" by Paul Dellinger provided another viewpoint. All in all, an interesting view of possible futures.
