How The Mighty Have Fallen submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 17, 2011, 8:15am I grew up with a different genre of Science Fiction, exciting, thought-provoking, as in Analog and Fantasy and Science Fiction magazines. Robert A. Heinlein. Arthur C. Clarke, Poul Anderson. But the stories in this compilation seem like homework from the authors' psychotherapists. If this is the best of the year, I fear for the worst.
