Each piece explores a different possibility for humanity beyond the earth.The weaknesses are about age and pace. The stories are dated, and the pace is measured. Readers expecting action will find it quiet.Recommended for readers interested in classic, thoughtful science fiction. Expect a reflective, dated read that rewards curiosity. The stories are short enough to read in one sitting, and each leaves a different question hanging in space.
