harrison bergeron - I've seen a stage adaptation of that before. Strange.

Minority Report: fantastic short story, basis for an even better film. I should rewatch that.

This wasn't Fillory, where there was some magical war to be fought. There was no Watcherwoman to be rooted out, no great evil to be vanquished, and without that, everything else seemed mundane and penny-ante.

Some great stories here: the things that make me weak and strange are engineered away, Peter skilling, pop squad and amaryllis.

Oh Happy Day - very strange story. Didn't sit as well as some of the others.

The Funeral: interesting story.

Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, Evidence of Love in the Case of Abandonment and The Funeral, Meh, Good and Okay.

Red Card- your neighbor can enforce the law. Freaky. Ten With A Flag: frightening, controlled, excellent.

Lottery: some people thought it was a true story, and would visit Jackson's town in VT to watch the stoning.
