Charles Levin is a good short story writer. There is an art to writing short stories. The author does not have the time for a leisurely build-up of time, setting and character. The story has to unfold within paragraphs. Most modern short story writers can't manage the knack and end up writing science from a novel.

I was impressed by Levin's ability to tell an efficient and entertaining story.

Levin fills out this short story collection with a variety of essays. The essays are interesting. He has some acute observations to share.

I can't say that anything stands out in particular, other than the initial story (which has been done before), but it is not a bad investment of time or money.
