didnt really live up to expectations, as most of the essays either talked about scifi in the broadest and most obvious terms ("imagination is what makes us human" girl how do you know that a bee doesnt dream?), or in minutiae that aren't even that interesting if you know the very specific subject. There were a few things that stood out to me, some of the essays were more enjoyable, but overall felt like the editors should have sought essays on topics that have an essay-length-amount to say about them (eg. an essay on eco-fables, an essay on time travel writing, an essay on digital companionship). Did provide ok food for thought tho.
