This creative and original new anthology features 16 stories from today's most compelling tale spinners focused on the nature of humanity, including both the good and the bad. The thought-provoking stories include the tests an angel might face if transformed into a mortal for a day, for example. For an intelligent robot, would the opportunity to become human for a day be worth the risks? These are just some of the inventive stories to be found in Human for a Day.… (altro)
The short stories all feature some sort of being that become human for just one day. I adored Ian Tregillis' golem-robot love story, _The Mainspring of his Heart, the Shackles of his Soul_. Seanan McGuire's _Cinderella City_ is a love story to San Francisco, and has some a lovely magic of a place. Quite a change from her shambling zombies! David D. Levine's _Into the Nth Dimension_ pulls a fun change-up, making me look at things in a different way (I'm avoiding a spoiler here), and works in a love story, too. Kristine Kathryn Rusch does a wonderful job of channeling a cat, on a cat's terms. Jean Rabe's vigilante statues are hilarious, if a bit alarming.
