- "The only best thing to do" by James Tiptree, Jr.: one of the - so far - rare classical spaceship/first contact stories. Beautifully written, both parts cute and touching.
- "Dinner in Audoghast" by Bruce Sterling with loads of food description.
- "Under Siege" by GRR Martin: a timetravel alternate history story, where I not really felt the sense of it.

Read:
- "Green Days in Brunei" by Bruce Sterling: much better as short story than his shaper/mechanist pieces in the first two volumes.
- "Snow" by John Crowley: may be that I was just too tired while reading this, but it left me blank.
- "The lake was full of artificial things" by Karen Joy Fowler: Still marvelling about this title. A related topic to the previous story, worked better for me.

Read:
- "The Jaguar Hunter" by Lucius Shepard: my favourite short story of this author so far (he was represented with short stories in each of the first three volumes)
- "Dogfight" by Swanwick and Gibson: a vernicular story of greed and the desperate need to 'be somebody', that didn't quite connect with me.
- "Fermi and Frost" by Frederik Pohl: a chilling (in both meanings of the word) story about the nuclear end.
