This was the book for my Science Fiction literature class. I marked which stories we read in class, and then just came back and finished up the other ones. Of course as a book of Science Fiction short stories you'll love some and hate others. I'm not really a fan of gender-bender sci-fi, so those stories were especially hard to slog through. But others like "2064, or Thereabouts" by David R. Bunch are still on my mind. It does have a lot of famous names in science fiction everyone for Ursula K. Le Guin and Brian Atterbery who where the editors to James Blish (an author probably in my top 10), and Poul Anderson, and Samuel Delany, James Triptree Jr, Harlan Ellison, P K Dick (definitely in my top 10 authors), and Orson Scott Card to name a few.

Kui-Bin says, "Science fiction writing at its best. Le Guin did a great job in selecting well-written, provocative short stories."
