I found these stories very creative. Impressive how many different versions of the future the author envisioned for us. I very much liked the narrators, the two men in particular had very distinctive voices that really set the mood for the stories they told.

I really enjoy Bisson's "contrivances of the heart," as he describes them; granted, some are a bit flimsy or rushed or one-dimensional, as demands the format. Some land with an outsize impact and are definitely worth your time. The title story in particular left me with some feels, and nodded towards some great world-building but teased just enough to really spike my imagination. It's been a great palate cleanser from my recent reads and if you see this, it's worth a quick jaunt into Bisson's world.
