## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A book for classic science fiction readers
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2010*

As a fan of Fred Hoyle ('The Black Cloud', etc.) I found this book to be a great read.  I had concluded that sf had exclusively gone to fantasy.  This is a refreshing reminder of what fiction about science can be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Every story kept my attention.

    Fiction and science from the UK
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2023*

This is a very interesting concept from the United Kingdom: 15 short science-fiction stories are presented, and followed up by a couple pages from a scientist that discusses the scientific aspects of the story.  The concept can best be presented in my favorite stories in the anthology The Moss Witch, where the author Sara Maitland, had consulted a post-doc researcher about bryophytes (mosses) and included information about the bryophytes life cycle and species in the story about an intelligent form.  As a geographer, I really appreciated the start of the story where she discusses a primitive GIS system for finding Moss Witches.Other standout stories (and their scientific counterpart) included:* Without a Shell by Adam Marek about nanotechnology and teenage love.* Doing the butterfly by Kit Reed about the limits and potentials of MRI* Enigma by Liz Williams- AI and Alan Turing and the Turing Test*Hair by Adam Roberts. Should this way to end hunger be employed? A dozen years has passed since these stories have been written, so undoubtedly there has been some progress along some of the lines in the stories. For example, Dr. Blake in discussing “Death Knocks” mentions “new forms of distributed computing, now called Cloud Computing” is now ubiquitous
