I'm not going to write a review for every story. I don't think that's very necessary.
318 - This was a good story but I don't see how genetically modified humans qualify as 'alien'. Personally I don't think they do, which makes me wonder why this story is in this anthology.
The insect requirement - The one was also good but the writing was confusing. Once you got into the story it became easy but a few times during the story I didn't understand what I was reading. the writing just wasn't clear on what was happening during a few paragraphs. The writing itself was still good but the descriptions definitely need work. The story itself was just good.
Hanging with humans - The thought that an Alien reality TV show would be earths end is just terrifying. It really makes you feel small and scared of possibly advanced aliens we have yet to discover.
Life - My favorite story of the whole anthology. Also, in my own opinion, it was the most creative.
I'm not sure I would recommend this unless Science Fiction is your favorite genre. Personally this anthology fell a bit flat. There were many stories worth reading but also many more that weren't. It's definitely a mixed bag.

I have never read a short story collection where I genuinely liked every story, until now. That is a damned impressive feat. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some fun and often creepy scifi.

Good Sci-fi
I borrowed this collection to learn about some new authors. It did not disappoint. Definitely didn't like all of them, but I can't stop thinking about the ones I did like.
