adventurous
dark
lighthearted
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Nice of collection of short stories. Some feel a little dated but good none the less

I picked this up after reading one of his short stories in another book. He was a new author to me and I'm very happy to have discovered him.
The stories in this anthology cover a wide range of (mainly) hard sci-fi topics: colonization, brain-hacking, first contact, etc. with some really nice basic sci-fi thrown in (e.g. Radio Waves). I f I was to name an overall tone to the stories I would say disturbing but in a good way. He explores thorny questions through his stories and sometimes the conclusion is disturbing but in a good way.
