"Tango Charlie and Foxtrot Romeo"
This story is a sequel to Blue Champagne. I hated it at first, but it grew into something more. <spoiler>It seems at the start to be a shallow attempt at a humorous science fiction adventure, but the ending transforms it into a tragedy.</spoiler> I do not think Varley is funny, and I dislike Anna-Louise's weird and unjustified judgmental attitude. Megan Galloway is good, though.

"Press Enter"
This would be an interesting if reflexively anti-tech story about the power of computers and the potential for emergent AI, if not for the racism. 2.5/5

"The Unprocessed Word"
I sincerely hope this Luddite did not put his author through any of this anti-computer nonsense. 1/5

"The Manhattan Phone Book (Abridged)"
This is a surprising anti-nuclear short that uses a phone book to make its point. No creepy sex stuff! 4/5

"Lollipop and the Tar Baby"
This may be the best story in the collection. It is a tight, domestic thriller about an adolescent clone and her "mother" searching deep space for black holes. 4/5

"Blue Champagne"
I have mixed feelings about this book. It has lots of weird sex stuff and jumps in logic. It has a lot of cranky Luddite social commentary. I am not sure how comfortable I am with its depiction of disability. It also has a strong core relationship and interesting science fictional concepts. 3/5
