Live Without a Net 15 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
A very satisfying anthology containing two essential stories.Chris Roberson and John Meaney's stories are extremely satisfying,all the more so because both are dissatisfying novelists.The medium brings out the best in them.

No Net Needed 2 July 2003
By James A. Owen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This anthology was my first exposure to Lou Anders' work as an editor, and I found myself very, very impressed.

I'm a choosy SF reader, and anthologies in particular drive me nuts. I've been rereading DANGEROUS VISIONS for years, and the one bright spot annually is Windling and Datlow's BEST FANTASY AND HORROR - basically, I have to be force-fed anything new.

I was offered an advance copy of LIVE WITHOUT A NET, started reading with no small trepidation, and found myself devouring it. Anders' choices are stunningly good, and his taste in material impeccable. Swanwick, Roberson, and Meaney's contributions may be some of the finest short fiction I've ever read, and the rest of the material held a similar line of quality.

Quit reading this and just go buy the book. Trust me - it's worth the price and then some.

A snapshot of the future of Science Fiction 1 Oct 2003
By "causticcharmer" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent compilation of stories. If you are interested in understanding how science fiction and fantasy are morphing into a new and facinating genre, then I highly recomend this book. It is a snapshot of the medium as it reaches a tipping point and shoots into the future. I have bought 4 books from authors whose short stories I read in this anthology. I highly recommend this book not only for the content, but also for the reading lists it will help you build.

A good collection, with some gems 1 July 2003
By "mark.watson@bestsf.net" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
For me the best picks from this volume are those where the authors really get to grips with the idea of a future that has not followed the usual technological route, particularly Di Filippo and Rucker. On the more traditional SFnal front Melko and Del Stone Jr provide more than the bigger names of Brin and Baxter, and Resnick/Kenyon, Hutchinson, Meaney and Stross provide top quality stuff.

All in all, an interesting varied collection, and well worth the shelf-space....
