I already owned some of the longer stories in this book, which were previously released individually -- but this anthology is at such a great price-point, it's well worth picking up anyway.I especially enjoy the way that the short story format doesn't leave room to tie up all the loose ends in a neat package, because when written as well as these are each of the little unresolved subplots provides some food for thought so that the story stays with you for a while.The Caretaker is especially poignant, almost taking the place of The Dark Age as my favorite Gurley story... I say almost because I took this opportunity to reread The Dark Age, and it's a tough one to beat.If you like scifi, you owe it to yourself to add this amazing anthology to your reading pile.  If you are not really a scifi or post-apocalypse reader, but you like well written, thoughtful stories that stay with you for a while after you finish them, you still owe it to yourself to add this to your reading pile.Can't wait for 'Eleanor', Gurley's next book.  The excerpts at his website have me holding my breath...
