first thing, I did enjoy this collection of stories much more than what I thought I would, I mean, I didnt know any of this great authors, and now I am glad I got to kmow them and a little bit of their work, I will search my libraries and second hand bookstores to read more things written by some of this authors ^_~.
Most stories werent like hard science fiction, but instead a really good episode of the twilight zone (and people could say what they want but the twilight zone was way better than black mirror), I didnt really notice that they were "old" I mean I know they are but for me they still made sense and could have enter a contest last year, and I did like most of them very much, I only didnt care much for a couple of the stories in the bunch.
we have stories from space exploration that end in a strange sickness, to aliens coming to visit, passing in a strange dystopic world where one can never fit well, or maybe a boy that only want a dog, a perfect family where women are quite special, or perfect children made in a laboratory, and quite a bit more, there's all for everyone, and dont let people put you off of reading by talking about that is outdated, of course these women have written this in the 50's/60's and that's how it was suposed to be written at the time, but I mostly didnt even feel that way about the stories.
I recomend this compilation of stories, it was fun and totally worth of my time.
I received a complementary ARC of this Book through BookSirens and I am leaving this review voluntarely.
