The problem with collections like this is the probability that I will have read most of the best short fiction in this book already. What distinguishes a fine collection is the more rare stories. If they are equally good, then the collection can be a revelation. Unfortunately in this case, this collection depends on "modern literature" for its unknown stories and all of them are thin, weak, or incoherent. "A Coffee Cup/Alien Invasion Story" by Douglas Lain is atmospheric without any grounding to reality or surrealism. It is neither clever nor memorable. " 'You' by Anonymous" by Stephen Leigh is clever, but only a wisp of a real story. Most of the rest of collection are well known and well awarded stories by Michael Swanwick, James Patrick Kelly, Joe Haldeman, and Howard Waldrop. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieContieneBliss di Leah Bobet
Horton's elegiac anthology of 15 mostly hard SF stories illuminates a broad spectrum of grief over love thwarted through time, space, human frailty or alien intervention, from the gentle melancholy of Michael Swanwick's "Triceratops Summer," which posits tame Technicolored time-warped dinosaurs in Vermont, to newcomer Leah Bobet's "Bliss," an agonizing riff on near-future drug addiction. Several selections address current political-social issues, like Mary Rosenblum's "Search Engine," which extrapolates today's technology to chilling, Big Brotherly results. The long closing story, Alastair Reynolds's "Understanding Space and Time," however, presents a ray of cosmic hope: the sole survivor of a plague that decimated humanity is rescued and healed by intergalactic entities and lives out millennia while seeking ultimate truths, returning to see mankind regenerated. This anthology reflects the concerns of the genre today-and the apparent inability of our society to do anything about them. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
