I'm about halfway through the book, and am really enjoying it. My absolute favorite story so far has been "Sunshine City" by Timothy Taylor. The idea that actions and motivations could be reduced to mathematical equations is phenomenally interesting, and besides, I have always loved a good murder mystery. I don't even like math, at all, and still I was all "Yes! Probability equations for the win!". SaBe's situation was so melancholy and lonely, I really couldn't help feeling sorry for her even though it was her own fear keeping her captive.
Some of the stories have been quite chilling, such as "Notes From the Womb" and "We Ate the Children Last", (Yann Martel! What a genius!) but still enjoyable or at least engrossing. In the case of "Notes From the Womb", I am not able to grasp some of the concepts/points, I think. I found "Personasts" to be vague and didn't really get it either. I found "Dougal Discarnate" to be clever. I loved the style and flow of "Survivor" and "This Is Not The End My Friend". I did not like "December Astronauts", not really sure why.
Basically, I just love short stories.
