As always with Bradbury's writing, I found this collection was hit and miss. Some storurs were delightfully callous, cruel, and foreboding, but others felt like F451 if it was written at an appropriate length for its actual depth and breadth of content. I think to some degree a handful of the stories fall flat purely from being outdated politically, scientifically etc... But I suppose that is one of the tensions in the genre of sci-fi... Time tends to continue onward. All-in-all, worth the read and entertaining, but certainly a handful of stories I wouldn't feel guilty skipping on a reread.
