3.0
The book certainly lives up to its name. This collection of short stories is classic SF (interesting worlds, forgettable characters). There are fascinating stories about body swapping, a murder mystery, and a thought experiment about a genetically mutated fungus. However, it also has odd stories about a man rescued by super-intelligent penguins, being possessed by a cat, and a transcendental experience with a pipe organ. I could recommend some of the stories, but would hesitate to encourage reading the entire collection.
