A selection of short stories concerning technology.
Each story is quite short, never more than 6 or so pages at most.
There is also notes at the end from scientists responding to some of the stories.
I enjoyed the fact the stories offer a brief glimpse into the worlds although that can be a little frustrating.
Worth a read.
A great collection of different short stories ranging from thought provoking to just plain entertaining. I never realized how much could be conveyed in less than a page. Great collection!
What a fantastic collection of stories! All set in an eerily recognizable future, they seem like an uncomfortable warning. There are robots and physical enhancements to humans, but the changes to our current world are so subtle that they seem plausible. The descriptions are so realistic and complete, that it's like being there. Some of the stories are very dark, but they all have an undercurrent of optimism and ultimate belief in human kindness. The real threat seems to be the system and technology, but people are basically good, even when misguided. This book really planted ideas in my mind, and I will keep thinking about it for a while.
This is a collection of 30 short science fiction stories. A lot of different stories that were interesting but a few I thought were too short. I did love this collection though.
I would have liked some to be longer than a few pages as as soon as you got into the story it cuts of sharply. A lot were fantastic though so this is worth picking up for those quick reads. The writing style was great and the stories flowed well so I would be happy to read more from this author.
