A review by alexkay
10 Futures by Michael Pryor
4.0
A clever premise that for the most part results in some occasionally undercooked but overall fairly interesting short stories (except 2040, which is straight up garbage).
The use of the same characters is an excellent narrative device, though eventually becomes a bit repetitive by the time you reach the final chapter.
Thematically heavy in a way that I wish more of my YA books had been as a teenager. Some of the interesting ideas I wish had been expanded on, but offered intriguing glimpses into a range of genres and topics. Very solid as introductory sci-fi for a younger reader.
