[Elisabeth Marksteiner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bedtime reading of one of the favourite collection of science fiction short stories I taught to 12-13 year olds. It’s an assorted mix of different styles but it has always given me pleasure. Delightful.

ANOTHER BOOK I DIDNT COME AROUND TO READ TILL THE VERY END AND I NEED TO RETURN TO THE LIBRARY TOMORROW

SO FAR I LOVE PAIL OF AIR THE PLOT TWIST AT THE END WAS EXTREMELY SATISFYING

[Gillian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some great some terrible. Favourites have to be Vonnegurt's Harrison Bergeron: simple, funny and cutting (and love the fact it was a woman in charge); and Let's go to Golgotha by Kilworth: a scary thought about humans as perpetually causing own woes.

Includes tales by the likes of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Arthur C. Clarke, J.G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, and others.

Some stories okay, some not. Surprising how much Harry Harrison stole setting ideas from JG Ballard's effort in his 'Make Room! Make Room!'
