Quite variable quality and styles. Certainly several stories vary dated, but interesting to see some of the concerns of the time e.g. cold war being reflected in the tales.
I was interested to see the development of sophistication and concept develop over the time scale of this collection.
The quality of the more profound and thought-provoking stories is heightened by the more mundane included in this collection. Worth the money.

Meh, a couple of gems buried by stories best forgotten.
