Reception
P. Schuyler Miller gave the anthology a lukewarm review, saying "The only trouble with [the book] is that someone else got to all the best stories first."[1]
gollark: If you *are* a millionaire, remember that said $5 snack costs a mere 200000th of your net worth.
gollark: That's not true. I can think of them giving me a million pounds.
gollark: Conspiracy theory: what if some of the machines randomly trying to SSH into your server and whatnot... are honeypots *themselves*, trying to get people to 1337 h4xx back into *them*?
gollark: You've really dashed my hopes of a giant computer army, though...
gollark: What if I make it log into them... and politely notify them of the problem?
