A Good Old-fashioned Future
4 stars
Solid! Bruce Sterling's quite fun when he gets his engines going in the right direction.
The later shorts are all in the same universe and tie in together with cross-over characters; I enjoyed them immensely. That is: Deep Eddy (the concept of the Wende!), Bicycle Repairman (v good), and Taklamakan (climbing-focused sci-fi, v good).
Weakest of the collection was Sacred Cow; it didn't do anything for me.
