I’ve had this on my ToRead list for awhile & thanks to your recco, am bumping it up near the top!
I’ve been surrounding myself with SF short stories lately - am working on the following collections & enjoying both:
Brave New Worlds (John Joseph Adams ed.) As you might guess, it’s a collection of dystopia stories, ranging from Shirley Jackson’s classic “The Lottery” to “The Things that Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away” by Cory Doctorow. Mostly new-to-me material that I’m really enjoying, but a bit heady/depressing to read in long stretches. I’ve trying to alternate it with lighter fare.
The Best Alternate History Stories of the 20th Century (Harry Turtledove ed.) isn’t really that much “lighter”, but there’s some great stuff in here as well. A couple of standouts: “The Winterberry” by Nicholas DiChario, and “The Undiscovered” by William Sanders, both of which were new to me and “Dance Band on the Titanic” by Jack L Chalker, which I’d read before. “Bring the Jubilee” was wonderfully detailed; I think I’ve read some of his stuff in various anthologies, but want to track down more of Ward Moore (so to speak).
