4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 16 Dec 1999
By A Customer
A readable, thought provoking series of stories on the theme of nanotechnology. Eight short stories, one poem and a novella. No bad stories and one truely great one.

I liked this book a lot. I had only read one of the stories before in a magazine anthology. The others were new to me.

The highlight of the book is "We were out of our minds with joy" by David Marusek. This story has enough in the way of ideas and development potential to spawn a novel. The price is worth paying for this novella alone. Indeed, at the price, it seems like a bargain!

While Marusek is still an emerging talent, other authors featured here such as Bear, Egan, di Fillipo and Baxter will be more familiar.

At the end of the book, the editors add a list of further reading on the same subject. I will be following up a number of their suggestions.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK stories, 16 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This collection has a few hits and misses and some of them are very bizarre but they all stretch the imagination. After reading one of these stories you can't help but consider the posibilities. The majority of the stories are quite good. This is a good book to kill time with.
