19 SF stories. of the 19, only 2 written by women were included, one of whom spent her writing career in male drag (James Tiptree, Jr.). this was published in 1999, so I guess my expectation of gender parity was premature. it was a decent read, but rather a lot of old white men, which was, you should excuse the expression, alienating.

800 bazillion SF short stories about the world ending to choose from and they choose these? Some were tolerable, some were painful, and some should have been drowned in the bathtub. I guess they thought throwing in James Thurber and Howard Fast was supposed to prove, umm, something. Maybe that "mainstream" authors will occasionally dabble in genre fiction? Damn, I never would've known, otherwise.
