A collection of short stories, most dealing with alternate histories or futures. The author seems preoccupied with the idea that the recently discovered atomic bombs would yield a very bleak future. Fortunately none of his imagined events have yet taken place. The best story in this collection is "The Tunnel Under The World" which deals with a community devoted solely to testing advertisements, but with a quite unexpected twist. The worst (although still not terrible, and with another pretty great twist ending) is "The Mapmakers," a tale about hyperspace travel. Most of the reason I didn't like this story is that I was halfway done with it before I figured out the jargon enough to understand it, and I never really did fully understand most of the technical stuff. In fact, a lot of these stories were kind of hard to get into and would probably bear a second reading, as it's not generally readily apparent what is taking place and where (or when). It's good to keep in mind throughout that these stories are all written in the 1950's and that mindset (especially in science fiction) is rather different than today's.
