3.0

As mismash of classic sci-fiction stories. Some are great and give pause for thought. Other's are magical thinking books, where the science is really just the supernatural used for a conceit that the author wants to use to make a point. I don't like the latter... and they tend to be full of strange names and made up words to create the 'futuristic' feel.

But in general, I enjoyed the stories, and nothing ever hangs around too long.
