wishbea's review against another edition
There were two really great stories in here, but I had to stop reading this because 3 of the last 4 stories I read were either nonsensical or downright offensive.
I've read anthologies before, but the majority of stories in this anthology by the halfway point are not at all for me.
There is a possibility I'm missing out on some great short stories in the back half of this anthology, but the risk of all of them being duds is too great for me.

This was a mixed bag of stories, on the whole all enjoyable, well-written and thought-provoking. A timely reminder of the reality of climate change and its effects.

I appreciate the aim of this short story collection but as someone already trying to lower my impact on the planet, I didn't need it. Or enjoy the majority of the stories.
