Reception
P. Schuyler Miller noted that Greenberg had limited his selections to "largely if not entirely unanthologized stories," limiting the contents to lesser if less familiar stories on the central theme.[1]
gollark: It's just so ææææææ.
gollark: If it wasn't for people needing to use different languages I would NOT support Unicode.
gollark: I have to admit I kind of agree?
gollark: > packed UTF-16 datawhich is bad but differently.
gollark: > (One reason for this policy of replacement is that internally, a Text value is represented as packed UTF-16 data. Values in the range U+D800 through U+DFFF are used by UTF-16 to denote surrogate code points, and so cannot be represented. The functions replace invalid scalar values, instead of dropping them, as a security measure. For details, see Unicode Technical Report 36, §3.5.)
