2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre stories and bad editing, February 18, 2008

This review is from: The Future We Wish We Had (Mass Market Paperback)

The stories aren't very interesting - nothing we haven't seen before. The low point for me: in Brenda Cooper's story "Trainer of Whales", the main character's name changes three times! She starts out as Kitha, sometimes she's Kisha and then she's Kitcha. Sloppy writing or careless editing is distracting enough to warrant reading something better.
