I've long been interested in the idea of immortality. For the past decade, I've been watching advances in medical technology and predicting that I'll have a much longer life span than my parents or grandparents—far longer than most people expect. And, yet, what would it really be like to be immortal? (Or just to live really long?)

Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois have assembled a very interesting collection of stories on that topic. They made me think about different facets of immortality that I hadn't previously considered. They made me think about familiar facets in new and different ways. They gave me an emotional connection to the pathos, ennui, and forgetfulness of immortality. They made me reconsider what I thought I had already thought abopathos, ennui, and forgetfulness of immortality. They made me reconsider what I thought I had already thought about. And that's one of the highest praises that I can give a collection of stories.
