I have a short attention span, so I enjoy short stories. I also enjoy speculative fiction, so it's hard for me to go wrong with a collection like this. Billed as "hard science fiction" (my guess is that this means the author actually spent at least a paragraph explaining the scientific premise...

    I don't usually read science fiction, but this is an excellent collection.

    More science-y than I usually read, but interesting stories.
