First of all, I'm not an avid short-story reader, and I don't dabble a lot in futuristic type science fiction. Overall, I was impressed by this book.As far as basics go, this was very clean. No grammar issues, no errors. Bradford obviously has writing experience, and it shows in her style.With content, I have to say she was able to maintain originality. They weren't futuristic space stories that I'd heard before, but I haven't read extensively in science fiction either. I came away from each story thinking a lot about it. While she uses ethical questions/decisions with each story, it's never the driving force. Each story is short, easy-to-read, but also distinct. She uses great description so I knew what was happening, but not an overabundance.At the end, I didn't have anything I would have changed or walked away from it with a feeling that it should have been different. This book makes me want to read more of Bradford's work.
