Another well-crafted collection from the previous century. Ooh, that makes it sound practically dust-covered. Seriously, quite good, especially Mr. Chiang's "Story of Your Life."

A collection of very nice short stories. Although from about 15 years ago, which is too bad since I've already read the best short story - Mrs. Mabb by Suzanna Clarke. Another strong story is "Death of the Duke". ( )
