Rod Serling said, "...fantasy is the impossible made probable. science fiction is the improbable made possible..." and in the pages of these books is the absolute best the vastness of science fiction writing has to offer... sit back, relax, and dream...

Picked this up at a local library book sale. Didn't really enjoy any of the stories aside from one or two, which ended too quickly for my liking. I would go as far as to say that most of the short stories in this collection could barely be considered science-fiction, and some of them have absolutely nothing to with the genre (I'm looking at you, story about hermaphrodite.) Also, the editing was terrible. Picked this up at a local library book sale. Didn't really enjoy any of the stories aside from one or two, which ended too quickly for my liking.

If you read one sci-fi book a year, this is the one. Always stories of high caliber with a few tossed in that will keep you thinking weeks later, not to mention the collection is a primer for what science and technology everyone will be talking about five to ten years from now.
