Some hits, some misses. Best is For a Foggy Night and Inconstant Moon. Some outdated stuff, too.

Some of the stories were real great, the ones about parallel universes and inconstant moon mainly. It's such a strange mix of completely different things, the essays about time travel and teleportation?? So random but so fun. I was real lost at times, probs not the author's fault though, my english just isn't on that level of physics.

A puzzling story that I listened to while falling asleep. I may need to listen to it again for clarity.

A collection of short stories and essays. The short stories are mostly quite fast paced dealing with different, 'what if the world worked this way', same goes for the essays that tackles questions like 'how would different time-travel affect society', the essay about why Superman hasn't got any kids is unfortunately both not very funny and quite un-tasteful and some of the short stories also hasn't really aged well, but there are also some golden ones in there so over all above 3.
