- If you like Ted Chiang and scifi short stories, consider checking out Jay Lake's Last Plane to Heaven, or Charles Stross's Wireless collection.
Short stories are such a fantastic and frustrating format, because the best ones blow your mind and leave you wanting another thousand pages.
- Revelation Space - Alastair Reynolds
Wireless - Charles Stross
Stories of your life and others - Ted Chiang
Moonrise - Ben Bova
Last Plane to Heaven - Jay Lake
Best of Greg Egan - Greg Egan
- Also, this fictional account appears in Wireless, a collection of short stories and novellas by Stross. It is great to see that medium still alive and publishable.

- I just finished Wireless last night! Charles Stross is pretty enjoyable. I loved his novel Accelerando. (It’s focused around the singularity and some pretty interesting ideas…)
- Right now, Charlie Stross Wireless, a short story collection. However, what I'm going to read very shortly will be Moby-Dick for the third time; my daughter just read it in her high school English class and it became clear to me that it's time to read it again. Good Lord, that man could turn a phrase.
