4.0

This was a great collection of solid stories. My favorite was "0wnz0red" by Cory Doctorow, with "The Empire of Ice Cream" by Jeffrey Ford a close second. The poetry was also surprisingly engaging.

The nonfiction (author retrospectives and a bizarre recounting of book publishing in the 60s) was entirely skippable.

I was particularly intrigued by the twist in the story "Of a Sweet Slow Dance in the Wake of Temporary Dogs" by Adam-Troy Castro which reminds me of stories like The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin.
