Maddz | May 6, 2022 | Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.The list of contributors is impressive so one would expect a high standard and the stories in this collection live up to that expectation. There is a vast range of topics in the story from the statement of an AI that looks after the residents of part of London, to the story from a temporal engineer called in to deal with an anomaly at a theme park. The stories certainly make the reader feel they are in London. There was enough detail to evoke a sense of London and where the action was taking place when I was reading the book, but it was not overdone. I enjoyed all the stories and can recommend this collection to any Science Fiction fan who is looking for stories with a variety of subject matter. 2  pgmcc | Feb 10, 2021 | Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. ) craso | Dec 26, 2020 | Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.It features a couple authors I'm familiar with (Neal Asher, Aliette de Bodard); their contributions are excellent, but neither their strongest work nor the book's. My favorites were a touching piece by Ida Keogh and a bizarre one by M.R. Carey, but almost every story here is good. There are a couple exceptions; one story in particular appears to have defied any attempt at proofreading - and slipped by the editor's high standards. Mainly though, it's another solid collection of worthy stories collected by Ian Whates. ( )1 Landwaster | Oct 22, 2020 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Militant A.I.s, virtual realities, augmented realities and alternative realities; a city where murderers stalk the streets, where drug lords rule from the shadows, and where large sections of the population are locked in time stasis, but where tea is still sipped in cafés on the corner and the past still resonates with the future... Thirteen stories that look to the future of this diverse, multi-faceted city, that invite the reader to consider different perspectives. Stories that draw you in to possible tomorrows and suggest what may lie just beyond the city's ever-changing skyline. Neal Asher opens the anthology with a story set in his Polity Universe, Dave Hutchinson gives us a novelette from his Fractured Universe milieu, Jeremy Szal takes us to the world of his debut novel Stormblood, M.R. Carey, Aliette de Bodard, Geoff Ryman, Aliya Whiteley and a cast of equally talented writers transport us to Londons near and far... Contents: 1. Introduction by Ian Whates 2. Skin - Neal Asher 3.
