A fun collection of shorty stories by authors that I had never heard of.
There were a couple that I didn’t enjoy (or perhaps I just didn’t get) but most were at least neutral.
I particularly enjoyed “My object all sublime…”, “Human Man’s Burden”, “On the Fourth Planet”, and “Immortality…for Some”.
I did notice some of the horniness and sexism that old sci-fi is known for, that has somewhat faded in popular contemporary sci-fi. But I didn’t find it extreme in this collection.
