Stories that make you think!
I believe I read the first story in another anthology but it's good enough to read again. I was especially drawn to the servo-bot Abe and his misguided and ultimately deadly way if helping poor Deb. And the terrible sadness in all the stories was an emotion I don't believe I have ever seen it addressed in any of the 100s of stories I've read. It made reading this one collection very worthwhile.
Recommended! Highly recommended!
