There's really very little you can say about most science fiction anthologies. Usually most of the stories are at best mediocre with a couple good ones thrown in. But the most annoying thing about them is definitely the writer introductions. Everyone is always "the up-and-coming" or "prominent" or "one of the best-known" or something. It's a fact of life that there can't be hundreds of writers sharing the title of "one of the hottest new writers of the 90's". Inflation really is a bad thing.
