Minus five stars for the Girard story that had two grown men try to rape a 12yo girl with her arm in a cast, while their boss looked on and only decided to stop the whole thing because she was putting up too much of a fight and it was taking too long.
Zero stars for the Varley story that featured a 47yo dude having sex with a 13yo girl.
Five stars for the stories by Asimov and Eisenstein, which are the reason this book got any star at all. I’m not a fan of book burnings, but wow this one came close to changing my mind. And don’t tell me to read it in context with the times, the times can go fuck themselves, and so can Girard and Varley. ( )

An interesting collection, but it lacks substance and consistency. ( )
