I'm reviewing this book for Strange Horizons, and so the full review will be up there shortly, but in summary: I had such high hopes for this. And credit where it's due, the fiction collected here - four short stories from well-known SFF authors - is worth reading. It's not particularly outstanding, but it's worth reading. The non-fiction, however, is a mess. Interesting ideas but the presentation is turgid beyond belief, and deeply unfocused. I'm not even sure who this book is for - all I know is that, bar the stories, the thought of dipping into it again is not an appealing one.
