Anthology.
Hurray, I love old sci-fi anthologies and it never fails when i read one I will find at least one or two of the stories that I have read elsewhere.
None of the stories sucked, which for me is a great thing. I am used to reading an anthology and having at least story leave me with an "Oh so that happened, what is next" feeling.
The crux of the anthology is each story is a reflection of the deadly sins, with Gluttony having two stories since it is a glutton.
Included is Sail 25, Peeping Tom, The invisible man murder case, Galley Slave, Divine Madness, The Midas Plague, The man who ate the world, Margin or profit, and The hook, the eye and the whip.
The ones I liked the best were the Midas Plague and the man who ate the world.
Both by Pohl, these along with another would one day be combined to make a novel. They are all centered in a world where energy efficiency and robotic manufacturing have given the world a glut of merchandise to consume. I would heartily recommend these two stories.
