I probably have written about this before, as I had read it a few years back. This is a collection of short(ish) science fiction stories by Stross, which was chosen for next month's Bibliogoth meeting.
I'm half way through the book, on the third of those stories. I particularly like the first one, in which he kind of (only kind of) riffs something akin to Discworld except much, much darker and in the context of the Cold War -who else by Stross would put Gregor Samsa and Carl Sagan in the same room. Liking the third one, which is an homage to Lovecraft's 'At the Mountains of Madness'. Didn't quite enjoy as much the second one, which might be taken as a riff on 'Sally' by Asimov, except with farms instead of cars.
