This guy is a genius. Loved his Counting Heads novel and this current selection of short stories includes several that were the basis for that novel. So we are seeing integrated nano-tech, corporate clones and ubiquitous surveillance. We also get a couple of soft scifi stories, of which my favorite is Yurek Rutz. In particular, I appreciated in the authors introduction the acknowledgement that it is difficult to both write short form as well as to read it (you must get the entire world defined within a couple pages) and his brief background about when and why he wrote each story.
