What might we run into as we expand beyond Earth and into the stars? As we explore our own solar system and beyond, it seems inevitable that we'll run into aliens ... and what they've left behind. Alien artifacts: what might they reveal about us as we try to unlock their secrets? What might they reveal about the universe? In this anthology, nineteen of today's leading science fiction and fantasy authors explore how discovering long lost relics of alien civilizations might change humanity. Join Walter H. Hunt, Julie Novakova, David Farland, Angela Penrose, S.C. Butler, Gail Z. Martin & Larry N. Martin, Juliet E. McKenna, Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, Andrija Popovic, Jacey Bedford, Sofie Bird, James Van Pelt, Gini Koch, Anthony Lowe, Jennifer Dunne, Coral Moore, Daniel J. Davis, C.S. Friedman, and Seanan McGuire as they discover the stars and the secrets they may hold--both dark and deadly and awe-inspiring.… (lisätietoja)
A wide variety of stories, from the naively hopeful to the bitterly pessimistic. None of them were fantastic, none were bad (which is an improvement on most of the anthologies I've read recently). The two stories I liked best - or found most interesting, is more accurate - were by authors I already knew, who were the reason I got the anthology (through Kickstarter). Lee & Miller's story made me want to see the rest of it - what _did_ they say to the question? And Seanan McGuire's made me really annoyed at the aliens - who put them in charge? grrr. The confusion index, in particular, I consider a nasty trick. Definitely worth reading, overall; I may reread the whole thing, or just skim for my favorites. ( )
