Един от най-добрите сборници с нова българска фантастика. Освен хитроумното разделение по категории и присъствието на утвърдени и познати автори, са подбрани наистина добри разкази, които си заслужават четенето, особено едноименният „Вирт“, „Короната на мравките“, „WWW.GRANDFATHERS_WINDMILL.TURING.COM“, „Устрел“ и др.

Най-ярко помня „Елфическа песен“ и едноименната повест (и посвещението на Георги Малинов: „Бъдещето не е каквото ни го описват, а каквото си го направим“). Силен за времето си сборник, подготвил почвата за алманасите „Ваяния“ и „ФантАstika“.
