4.5 stars My favourite story in this anthology. The characters were interesting and well-drawn, and the dystopian present is horrifyingly realistic, but gives some sense of hope at the end. I wish it were a whole novel!

I liked the premise of the time travel company, and the information about our main character was reeled out slowly. Fans of Scalzi will enjoy this as it has his usual style.

3.5 stars. I liked the premise of this story, but it really felt like the story of the monstrous housemates wanted to be a longer novella, and less about the timey wimey stuff. (view spoiler) ...more
