review 1: I disliked one thing and one thing only about this book: at the end of the last and potentially best story, Stross admits that it should be a full short novel but he didn't want to drive the cost up by making the collection run over 500 pages. It's more a commentary on the sad state of the publishing industry than on Stross's skills, but that last great section really does feel truncated. Otherwise, it's a stellar collection, with a few genuinely great tales, notably "A Colder War" and the incredible "Missile Gap."
review 2: I really struggled with this book. There were places I nearly gave up on some of the stories, one of them took me four days to read, not because I didn't have time, but because I really couldn't be bothered with it. Having said that there w... moreere a couple of stories I really enjoyed. Probably Unwirer was my favourite closely followed by Down On The Farm and Rougue Farm, but some of the others really just weren't for me. less
