Carbide Tipped Pens: Seventeen Tales of Hard Science Fiction by Ben Bova
4.0
Intended audience: General population though preferably those with intro-level knowledge of science.
Anthologies are always hard to rate in that an 'average' rating leaves out the stories one truly enjoyed as well as the stories one might now have liked so much.
There's a wide variety of styles, settings, and science in his collection, enough so that there ought to be a least one that pleases any reader. And, like good sci-do, the stories are bound together by a desire to explore the intersection of technology, logic, and reason with the human condition.
