Gideon Lichfield is Editor-in-Chief of MIT Technology Review.
"[These stories'] conceptual, daring and compassionate narratives .
. . perform with brio and clarity the job that science fiction
was always meant to do: walking the readers through the 'garden of
forking paths' and assuring us that life can flourish, despite all
challenges and crises, if we only deploy our imaginations."
—Paul Di Filippo, Washington Post
