review 1: This is a varied collection of mostly excellent recent stories by Charles Stross. In particular, it is worth calling out "Missile Gap" which won the Locus Award for novella in 2007, and "Palimpsest" which won the Hugo Award for novella in 2010. Several other of the stories were nominated for awards as well. The one which fell flat for me was "Trunk and Disorderly" which was an attempt at a smarmy style of humor I don't care for. Full content list is:Missile GapRogue FarmA Colder WarMaxosDown On The FarmUnwirer (with Cory Doctorow)Snowball's ChanceTrunk and DisorderlyPalimpsest
review 2: Stoss's short fiction is just as good as his novels, and the short form allows for the exploration of more ideas in a single volume. The short Laundry story was great of course.... more I liked the Lovecraftian story "A Colder War" a lot. My favorite might be the last story which was a very strange, convoluted time-travel story called "Palimpsest" with a grand scope of time stretching into billions of years. less
