Statistical Report '92 Public Library Data Service Special Section Technology Survey Book

A lot of great names in this collection, and a great editor, too. But almost every story in this collection felt lazily written. Obvious "twists", forced plot complications, expository oratory, and--yeah, just lazy, like one story where the POV character's thoughts were described as thinking about option A "or something" three times in three pages. I did read them all, but on several I did flip ahead to see how many more pages I had to get through. All the ideas could make great stories, but that's usually the case. I wouldn't recommend this as an introduction to a new science fiction reader, and to a fan only if you want to read more short stories by one of these authors for completeness. I haven't read any others in this series, so can't compare.
