In The News
“The stories are just the right length for those brief interludes with which life abounds. They come from a highly respectable science journal (Hey, Nature published the Watson & Crick paper that spelled out the structure of DNA and won a Nobel Prize).Therefore, QED, this SF is highly respectable too! It won't a hurt a bit that the stories are good as well.” —Analog
“Worthwhile for anyone. A satisfying selection…occasionally quite profound. This book does just what we hope for.” —Locus (Rich Horton)
“Giant leaps into the future in delectably palatable tiny packages.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
