The problem with Anthologies... but a good one.

The problem with anthologies - especially ones that combine stories from different time periods - is that the quality of the total works will vary. The first story was quite bad and left me with a feeling of 'uh-oh, what did I just spend my money on', most stories are average, but some (old and new) are real gems and well worth the purchase.
All in all, a good buy for traveling and short jaunts. But not something you could sit down for a long read over.

Very dark, in general

The writing cannot be denied as excellent throughout this collection of stories. However, the majority of the stories are exceedingly dark. Not the right read if you're looking to be uplifted about stories of the future.
Again, very well written and engaging stories, just a bit depressing in overall tone.
