What I really liked was the index at the end which gives further suggested reading lists. This is a great book for anyone familiar with the genre, but equally if you're new to this type of subject it's a gentle lead in to some of the best SF writers around.
This is the perfect book to have by your bedside, for those times when you only want to dip into a book.but be warned, even with the best intentions of "I'll just read one story to wind down before I drift off" can turn into ".maybe I'll just read one more little story THEN I'll call it a night.or perhaps just a couple more." These stories have helped me find a few new branches to head along and broaden the subject for me. It was interesting to find a few new takes on the genre and for this reason I'm glad I read 'Wastelands'. The stories have been well selected and although they all follow a similar subject matter, they're all so different and even the very, very short stories stay with you after you've read them.
I am however, a fan of post apocalyptic/end of the world/last man standing type fiction, so chose this book hoping to find a few good stories to tide me over until I found my next 'currently reading'. Like another reviewer has said, I'm not really a short story fan.
