I really wanted to get through this, but I’m already annoyed with the misogyny when he explained how Ellen is a slut that enjoys being with 4 men?

Overall this was good, though as you can see by the dates, it took me a while. I’m not a huge fan of short stories but had this and see it talked about a lot so finally gave it a chance. Some of the stories worked better for me than others, but they were all pretty good. You can vaguely tell when this is from by the sexism but it doesn’t ruin anything. I am glad I finally read this. 

idk how to rate this, it’s insanely good but also saying i love it…. anyway it’s dark and will scar you forever, as any good horror should 

good to know there has always been 2 consistent things in sci fi writing.... fear of AI and hatred for women

If you can ignore the weird "Man from the 60's writes a women in a Sci-Fi story" then the book is really good. It's gives you a lot to think about.
