librarimans's review against another edition
3.0
An average collection of science fiction short stories. Nothing really stood out to me as super notable, but nothing was terrible either.

It’s true of every short-story collection that it’s a mixed bag in terms of style and quality; the latter is particularly varied in this book. While no story is downright terrible, a few definitely could’ve been culled (Loory’s childish entry, Díaz’s annoying bro tale.) But then you find gems like Lethem’s ‘Five Fucks’ and Molly Flows’ ‘Lambing Season,’ and it’s worth it.

Despite being a collection of stories from non-science fiction authors, this ended up being a fairly standard (and uneven) collection. There are a lot of styles represented here. One of the stories is a fake art history about a painting movement of extremely realistic painters that did not exist, and that's not something you'd find in a usual sci-fi collection. A couple stories standout, so if you're a fan of short story collections this one may still be worth reading.
