Enjoyable collection with similar but ranging themes. I bought it because of the Greg Egan story and wanted to explore more "near-future" themes after reading AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future. I really enjoyed the stories by Chi Hui, Grant Collier and Ray Nayler each in their own way. A solid collection that opens the door to exploring more. Easy reads, thought provoking and enjoyable.
