This story won't leave you basking in afterglow, but it will make you value life, and love, more highly. The most SF of the lot, this story takes place on a lunar colony. Easy job, open and shut. The entire murder is on video, with lots of witnesses, and you even have the murder weapon. Great, except that both victim and murderer belong to a cult that practices complete uniformity.

These three stories together comprise only fifty percent of the anthology, yet easily justify the price of the book. This is a story about a story, or rather a story about writing a story. Compared to the other contributions, the abstract plot seems stilted, dry, and wholly without tension. The anthology would not have suffered from its exclusion. Fortunately, the other two stories do deserve their places.
