17 X Infinity by Groff Conklin
5.0
[a:Groff Conklin|57170|Groff Conklin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1208191873p2/57170.jpg] put together some of the best science fiction collections, and this is no exception to that rule. Any time I find one in a paperback store, I gleefully snag it for future reading. This collection contains 17 stories, including the prophetic "The Machine Stops" by [a:E.M. Forster|86404|E.M. Forster|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1402057803p2/86404.jpg].
This collection also contains "Silenzia" (released after the 5000 Fingers of Dr. T - so who had the idea first?), "The Day They Got Boston" (released before Eugene Burdick's serialized story "Fail-Safe") and one of two ultimate time travel stories "The Brooklyn Project" (the other is Heinlein's "All You Zombies").
Flipping back through the last six months of occasional reading and waiting (for a kid at school, for a ferry, or even just for the game to start), I can't find which story I like the least. An excellent collection!
