I am sadly disappointed by this collection of work. I was (mistakenly) expecting science fiction, which this book is NOT. It's more literary reading, something I do not enjoy. This is my own fault perhaps as I believe now that misunderstood the title.
That however is not the extent of my disappointment with the book. While it did have a couple of excellent stories (perhaps 5% of those included), some work was far to esoteric for my enjoyment. Still others, I didn't understand at all.
This was supposed to be a collection of stories that describe ‘apocalyptic situations' but, I felt like I was reading a collection bad poetry disguised as short story work.
I can't recommend it, but there are obviously people out there who enjoy this sort of work.
Disappointing. I really wanted end of the world stories, of which there were several. However the editor chose to define apocalypese as any revolutionary change. Fair enough, and certainly led to including some very interesting stories. But it's just not what I signed on for.
