4.0 out of 5 stars Makes a point and makes it well, 9 Mar 2008
By Nicholas Whyte (Oud Heverlee, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a collection of short stories, mostly sfnal, none of them. Many of them go for standard sfnal riffs of humans occupying alien planets (or vice versa) and the underdog biting back; the most memorable of these for me was "Execution Day", by Marie Brennan. Some take a different tack; I particularly liked Ken MacLeod's piece, "MS Found on a Hard Drive", which assembles various of his musings on the subjects of terrorism and contemporary (or near-future, or recent past) Scottish and Irish politics. Charles Stross has a neat epilogue as well, suggesting that the Labour Party will come to its senses, but not until long after it is too late. A collection worth looking out for on its own literary merits, quite apart from the political point being made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, 21 Jan 2008
An anthology put together to criticise a ludicrous UK law, that of making it illegal to 'Glorify Terrorism', hence the name, to show how stupid it was.
So, overtly political, and hence so are the stories, generally speaking.

As far as quality, this was presumably put together reasonably quickly from the local group of writers, so quite good from that point of view, and actually a bit above the average of your standard original SF type anthology, so well done on both fronts for this publication.
