A fairly weak issue overall.

"All Seated on the Ground" - Connie Willis ***
Humorous story about a journalist and a choir director trying to figure out why non-communicative aliens seem to respond to Christmas carols. Not really my style of humor.
"The Rules" - Nancy Kress **
Global warming message story.
"do(this)" - Steven Graham Jones ***
A teenager uses his father's idea about consciousness to write a novel computer program.
"Strangers on a Bus" - Jack Skillingstead ***
Slipstream story about a man whose stories about strangers may change reality. ( )
