Críticas

A pair of time-traveling con-artists tangle with a paleontologist smuggling an infant dinosaur into the 22nd century. Hijinks ensue.

Corrupting Dr. Nice is a postmodern mash-up of 1930s screwball comedies and science fiction: Preston Sturges meets H. G. Wells. Some of the time paradoxes do not bear close examination, and the novel's frenetic speed does not always allow logic to impede its constant lunge forward, but this, too, is an homage to the source material. (The Lady Eve and Bringing Up Baby will never win any awards for their internal coherence, but nobody cares.)… (mais)

Cyberpunk is one of those subgenres that feels more and more accurate these days. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Depends on my mood towards the world at the time. But this is a good collection. My favorites were “The Dog Said Bow Wow” and “The Voluntary State.” YMMV.
