I backed this on Kickstarter! I'm infamously bad at reviewing anthologies, so suffice it to say that I had a good time. Favorites include the Pyjarmy by Erica Buist, Sommy by Ryan North (who's participation introduced me to the project in the first place), I was Valkyrie by Jessica Val Ang, and probably #1 is The Restaurant at the End of the Internet by Andy Connor. I love reading about the internet, and it's super cool to read stories from just a few years before my introduction to the World Wide Web from people who had a completely different experience than I did.

4/5 stars

For me it's a 5* - I started going online in 1998/1999 using Netscape & a dial up connection I saved change to pay for. I made an internet friend through a Due South fansite, built my witchcraft knowledge & in 2000/2001 developed an unhealthy love of Neopets (which had for some reason a free text message service in it??). I'm not sure those much younger would enjoy as much. But for those of us of a certain age it's a look back at what was, & what can be occasionally again.
