A solid but not outstanding collection.

"The Little Goddess" - Ian McDonald ****
A girl who grew up as a living goddess in South Asia becomes involved in AI smuggling.
"The Gist Hunter" - Hughes ***
In a world where magic is returning, an investigator must learn its uses to stop a criminal.
"Human Readable" - Cory Doctorow ****
A couple's relationship revolves around legislation of the use of networks with emergent properties. Interesting near future view.
"Audubon in Atlantis" - Harry Turtledove ***
John Audubon hunts for a rare bird in an alternate history where the large island of Atlantis sits in the North Atlantic. Interesting concept, but not much happens.
"Magic for Beginners" - Kelly Link ****
Surreal story about adolescence and fandom. Not really my style of story, but it is well written and left me thinking about what it meant.
"Fishin with Grandma Matchie" - Steven Erikson *
I couldn't figure out what this was about and couldn't finish it.
"The Policeman's Daughter" - Wil McCarthy *****
Questions of identity arise in a future where copies of people can be created and stored at will.
"Inside Job" - Connie Willis ***
A skeptic seeks to debunk a psychic who claims to be channeling H. L. Mencken. Entertaining, but nothing special.
"The Cosmology of the Wider World" - Jeffrey Ford ( )
