3.0

I struggled with this book. I'm not sure why as, individually, each of the stories has merit, but somehow as a collection I couldn't quite get into them. I dropped a star accordingly.

The most original "story" is John Sladek's Anxietal Register B, which is the most bureaucratic, kafkaesque example of the civil servant's craft I've seen imagined, but chillingly close to some forms I've had to fill out recently.
