Review
Oldies from the 1900s show Earth dying by ice and fire respectively. Peter F Hamilton evokes the dangers of hunting aliens; Greg Egan's hero spans all possible quantum worlds in "The Infinite Assassin"; Damon Knight does tricky things with time travel, also used by Connie Willis--whose "Firewatch" is a moving tale of saving St Paul's in the Blitz. Meeting your past self needs no time machine in Robert Reed's "At the 'Me' Shop".
Kim Stanley Robinson's "Vinland the Dream" imagines a gigantic historical hoax. Robert Sheckley and Philip Dick offer paired comedies: utopia with unnerving flaws, and an authoritarian state that secretly isn't. Hair-raising explorations include Geoffrey A Landis's mindboggling plunge into a black hole, Colin Kapp's "Unorthodox Engineers" assaulting a mystery object immune to nuclear blasts, and Michael Swanwick's doomed heroine trekking across Jupiter's moon Io, whose sulphur landscape speaks to her--this tale, "The Very Pulse of the Machine", won a Hugo.
Elsewhere, Keith Roberts imagines nightmare life in the electricity grid, Brian Aldiss seems to be writing surrealism until his shock punchline, John Morressy's four-clone team of identical private eyes investigates a murdered three-clone, Eric Frank Russell reveals the secret rulers of Earth, and Clifford Simak effectively blends alien contact with his trademark rustic nostalgia.
This is a meaty collection with almost no duds, recommended. --David Langford
