It never gets old travelling to the past (reading almost-50-year-old short stories) to travel to the future.

Some of the anachronisms are cute. The time spent describing communications or space tech or other things that didn't go the way we thought they would or are so commonplace now they require no explanation at all.

Some of the characters and situations are funny. Some are thought provoking. Some of the stories take too long, and some I wish would keep going.

A pleasant mix, more-or-less.
