I wound up devouring Welcome to the Future in one day. I don't usually do that with short story anthologies. I tend to dip into them for a story or two and then read something else for a bit before returning. That's mostly because I've never read an anthology in which every single story was phenomenal. While I didn't love all the stories in this one either, almost all of my favorites were front loaded.

If anything, that's what I disliked about this collection. I didn't enjoy the last few stories, and if I hadn't plowed through the book so quickly, that might have tarnished my view of it as a whole. I feel as if the runner-up selections were tacked on at the end only to make the book a little longer. A better way of organizing it would have been to spread them out amongst the gems of the bunch. Putting that aside, Welcome to the Future is well worth buying.… (meer)

This was an interesting read. I loved that it was a bunch of short stories, because I got to see a lot of stories in a short amount of time. Some stories had me flipping pages wildly, excited to see the conclusion, while others had me gripping the book sadly, dreading the fate of the character I'd already become attached to. This book is creepy, but not even in a bad way. Definitely worth the read!
