I’m sure that when Ellison wrote these, they were probably near the cutting edge of science fiction. Now, they seem to be rehashes of Twilight Zone or Black Mirror episodes, with a hint of fantasy or drug-induced hallucination to round them out. It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just that ‘we’ve seen this one.’
