Read the first third and had to give up. All of the stories read, ALL of them, were overlong, overslow, boring, unengaging and very, very low scifi. I don't know how that could happen: I regularly read Tor.com and enjoy most of its stories. There is just a tiny minority I do not... and they are all probably in this book. Who did the selection?I need to know, so as to avoid her in the future!

Excellent collection- it's been quite a while (too long) since I've read short stories, so it was a real treat. And a very high count of "stories I like" vs. "stories that didn't work for me", so it was win-win all around. I now have a lot more authors on my to-read list.
