Lots of good, and some great, stories in this collection! It is kind of like a sci-fi version of the Twilight Zone! You've got people going back in time, people going forward in time, robots fighting wars, robots trying to make peace, a man hunting himself, people becoming trees, plants, or cats, and a world full of Silvias! But my favorite of the bunch may be "The Eyes Have It", which is pretty darn funny and almost out of place in this group! I enjoyed 17 of the 18 (sorry "Upon the Dull Earth") and highly recommend reading this anthology!
