Thought-provoking material August 12, 2007
Mikko Saari (Tampere, Finland)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Otherness is the uniting theme for the short stories and essays collected in this book. Don't let the silly cheap science fiction cover fool you: there's some pretty deep thought inside the covers. The short stories vary from great to ok, but the essays offer the best value in the collection. Brin writes about UFOs, science versus magic and what he calls the dogma of otherness. It's all very interesting and enlightening.
The short stories aren't a waste of space, either - the best of them are captivating and contain marvellous ideas. Brin writes good science fiction, especially if you value interesting ideas. Those looking for fresh thought to chew on will find a nice dose from this collection.
Very enjoyable science fiction stories June 12, 2001
Xandorra (UK)
I really enjoyed this book - the Giving Plaque & Sshhh... especially are thought prokoving & well-written stories. Brin also has several essays on various topics inserted throughout the book that are very entertaining. His style is eloquent & easy to read. I would definitely recommend this collection to any SF fan...
