review 1: I first read the novella version of Beggars in Spain when I was working through the Nebula winner anthologies as a sophomore. It remains one of my favorite stories. These stories have a lot of the same themes-- young people, biotech, isolation, community. The stories all have interesting setups and characters, but sometimes the resolution of the plot left me disappointed, as it didn't feel inevitable that things should end up the way they did.
review 2: A collection of sf stories by Nancy Kress. Usually collections are an uneven mix, but these stories not only flow together well, but each and every story is excellent. Many of the stories are about individual humans' reactions to technological leaps or apocalyptic events. Aliens appear in a few. And yet they ... moreare all believable, like what might actually, truly happen if these events come to pass. Kress has a solid scientific understanding and avid curiosity and imagination about future breakthroughs, and it makes her tales all the better. less
