Greg Egan is the master of the modern short science fiction, and this collection is another example of why. The subjects he deals with are often confronting or disturbing, but the are very real and very valid.

His ability to explore both complex scienitific concepts and questions of the human mind is unrivalled and displayed here in an amazing variety of ways. From maths and physics in Luminous and The Planck Dive to psychology in Mister Volition and Transition Dreams, this is a collection just as fresh and imaginative as Axiomatic.
