A very interesting read for fans of the series. It's great to be able to check the original materials all in one place.
The stories are all different, both in terms of subject matter and style. They are connected only by a loose sci-fi/futuristic theme, but each of them explore it in a unique way. Interesting to see the different approaches.

Really Great Short Stories
Never was a big fan of Sci fi but my Mind has changed with this book. All of the stories were extremely thoughtful and entertaining.

This is the perfect book for fans of the show, but I guess this will also be the perfect book for someone wanting to get into sci-fi. Before reading this one I was already familiar with John Scalzi, but now I've got some authors to move to the top of my tbr, like Alastair Reynolds and Ken Liu. And I discovered that militairy sci-fi is just not my jam.
It's been a while since I watched season 1 and the more forgettable episodes were just as forgettable in written form. Luckily, those stories were the short ones. But that's why I can't give it 5 stars. Even if this book was everything I hoped it was.
