4.5 - would love to read full length versions of so many of these stories!

Not sure why my library shelved this as YA. Maybe 1/3 of the stories had a teen or pre-teen protagonist, the rest were adults of varying ages.

Amazing stories, taking this premise into such different directions. 10/10 would recommend!

Loved this anthology. I didn’t think any of the stories were disappointing, and many were really good! It’s a fun premise and you can tell one that easily inspired a lot of pretty diverse types of story. Definitely worth reading.

An interesting futuristic anthology about what happens AFTER FTLs (faster than light engines) or warp drives are made affordable and put online for open source Download.

A range of comics exploring our world if everyone had easy access to FT build a cheap FTL engine... As any collection goes I enjoyed some more than others. Quite often though I wanted to continue each story! Fun prompt to explore!

I'll be honest, I'm giving this 3 stars because of my expectations. This is an anthology. I'm not too keen on those. But all in all, some of the stories were great! One made me burst out laughing when I read it. A few left me scratching my head. And one left me saying, "What was the point of that?" I had my book club kids read this, and our overall thoughts were that we'd love to flesh out 3 or 4 to longer GNs, but we'd gladly leave a lot on the editing floor.

ÄLSKAR scifi, väldigt många gems här, men kanske främst potentia .  Det mesta kändes inte som fully realised stories och jag ville ha mer från dem. Men kul! Grandpas new wife va LÄTT min favorit.

There are not a lot of anthologies that are as solid all the way through as this one, with little to no repetition. Wonderful.
