Wow Truly thought provoking and amazing, February 25, 2006
This book makes you think about the future and where we are going. Very thought provoking. Would be great material for the "Twilight Zone". Short stories so you can read for a while, put it down and then read some more. Would make great screen plays for possible movies.

Good collection of sci-fi, February 16, 2006
Interesting collection of short stories with diverse range of topics.
To live in a world where your children can survive on Venus ... assuming you survived first?
To travel on another world and meet people who are more like us then we think?
To test the limits of human ethics to save those we love one way or another.
Definitely stories you can enjoy for years to come.
