A review by pine_wulf
Dangerous Visions by Harlan Ellison
Thoughts on individual stories:
Evensong - strong start, short, but interesting
Flies - not too bad, a little disturbing
The Day After the Day the Martians Came - this one might have felt revolutionary once upon a time, but now it's a bit of a cliche
Riders of the Purple Wage - this one was sooooo boring, just, no
The Malley System - this was fascinating, I wonder if a certain Black Mirror episode was inspired.
A Toy for Juliette - I liked this one quite a bit.
The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World - this was fine, it's a sequel to the preceding story, but not as good
The Night That All Time Broke Out - so much fun, plus I'm a sucker for "time is cyclical"
The Man Who Went to the Moon - Twice - I think the story itself is just ok, but I liked the theme. I found the afterword more touching than the story.
