Most of the stories in here are EXCELLENT. A few have toed the line between science fiction and fantasy. I know the difference between hard sci-fi and soft sci-fi. That's not what I am referring to.
The story Sanford and Sun (spelling intentional) is brilliant. The author, Dawolu Jabari Anderson does a mock screenplay for a show we all know and it is beat for beat, with one major 'twist'.

Runway Blackout is a BRILLIANT concept. There are shapeshifters who double as models. Unfortunately, it ends a little too quickly. The ending is unsatisfying. Of course, I am sure the characters found the end unsatisfying as well. In that regard, brilliant.

All of these stories have been excellent. No, wait. One of them was just good.
Short version- a few authors compiled short stories of science fiction by authors who aren't traditionally represented in the science fiction realm.
