Reception
P. Schuyler Miller, declaring that Merril "has [n]ever edited a bad anthology, or even a so-so one", described this theme anthology as "span[ning] the gap from H. G. Wells to 1953."[3]
gollark: A likely story.
gollark: He didn't deny it so he must be. I KNEW IT.
gollark: Are you secretly a member of the Organization of Macroeconomic Safety Instructors?
gollark: Why are you OMSIMattHowell instead of just MattHowell?
gollark: While you *can* queue fake key/char events and thus type things, you don't know what you should type because you can't programmatically see the number. Galaxtone found an exploit where you could make it produce a fixed/known number, which let you automatically type out everything, but I fixed that.
