None of the stories really grabbed or enthralled me apart from the Philip K Dick. The Larry Niven story was also pretty good but its understanding of medicine was incorrect and very distracting.

The collection is interesting, but not exciting, and is really showing its age. In particular the introductions seem to have a very traditional/conservative/repressive philosophy (for example, the one story with a female author was introduced by talking about her role as a housewife) which I found uncomfortable to read.
