This is a great collection of short stories. I thought the first one was a bit ham-fisted as an analogy to a serious real-world issue, but it might be worth a read for those unfamiliar with it. The rest of the book was extremely engaging and thought-provoking.

Clearly Egan values compassion for the oppressed as a virtue and expresses this in his writing. So one reviewer's claim that Egan has axes to grind seems ... not wrong but rather incomplete.
