3.0

The stories are fine, none are especially memorable (although I kind of liked Blind Alley). I wanted to like this because of the theme, but each seems to have an idea of "Empire" that is more or less the same, tired, old, enormous, nothing dynamic. But, while all are so similar, they are also all in different realities, creating a problem where the stories are both too close in setting but get none of the benefits of a shared universe.
