A non-technical sc-if is novel, since there is little science in the stories.
More fiction than science.

One of the stories in this collection (Carol Farley's Lose Now, Pay Later) made it into a 7th grade English text book, many years ago. The story stayed in my memory for some time, and provoked me into buying the book. The other stories are sophomoric, and if not upheld by nostalgia, I might say the same thing about the story for which I sought this book to begin with. ( )

I enjoyed this collection of short stories about possible future. Connie Willis' Much Ado About [Censored] made me both think about censorship and chuckle at the absurdity of various groups banning lines from Hamlet until there was practically nothing left. On the opposite spectrum, stories such as Carol Farley's Lose Now, Pay Later and Bruce Coville's Old Glory made me think about not taking responsibility and rights for granted. ( )
