Setting aside the disappointing casual racism and sexism that sometimes seems inseparable from mid-century sci-fi (and additionally setting aside that this came out in 1971, so it's maybe a little late to still be so blatant), this anthology has some nice, if slight, stories with an endearing from-the-scientific trenches perspective.

Many of these stories feature Professor Emmet Duckworth, Eisenberg's most beloved character, and are told through the admiring eyes of Duckworth's Watson-like computer programmer friend, and those are probably the strongest of the bunch.
