Reception
Boucher and McComas gave the collection a mixed review, saying that it included little of Miller's best work, with the remaining stories "a mixed lot in which striking ideas conflict with treatment that is sadly routine."[2]

gollark: > This book is intended as a text for a second or third level undergraduate course in introductory ethical calculus or morality science. Ethical Calculus on the Astral Manifold demonstrates foundational concepts of ZFC+DMR axiomatic moral theory in particularly novel ways. Join an autonomous car as it journeys across the utility isosurface, restricted in phase-space by the physical constraints of spacetime. Follow the thought processes of the man at the lever in the modified manifold trolley problem. Watch as a eigenmoses maximizer behaves in a simulated environment, following an instinct one might find very familiar. These are just a few of many case studies presented, analyzed in detail in a manner both interesting, easy to read, and highly informative. Freshman knowledge of real analytical techniques is recommended but not necessarily required.
