Review: A very mixed bag

This is a strangely mixed collection of the good, the very good and - well, let's just say not as good.  It's not easy to see the reasoning behind the editors choices.  Certainly, all the stories show a lot of imagination, and there are some vivid and descriptions of possible future worlds.  Perhaps for a student of the genre who wants to trace the development of SF ideas and styles this might be a very useful selection.  In which case some sort of introduction to each story to put them in context would have been useful.But I just wanted to read some good stories, and was disappointed with some of them.  Three stars for the sake of the good ones.  A more consistent selection would have got four or five.
