Reception
Algis Budrys praised Knight's skills as editor and critic but said that the compilation "represents science fiction well but not to any extraordinary extent", with no story "clearly and obviously the 'best' of anything". He advised readers to buy the paperback version.[1]
gollark: Yes, but they have stupidly overpowered processors anyway.
gollark: Presumably keeping Bluetooth receivers on is costly.
gollark: I'm now wondering how low you could actually get the power consumption without having something which is basically just a regular watch.
gollark: I probably wouldn't mind a lower-powered smartwatch with a few weeks of charge. They all seem to have overengineered application processors, fancy displays and tons of RAM, which seems unhelpful for watch uses.
gollark: That's better than the few days I've heard most smartwatches get.
