      ed. Stefan Dziemianowicz, Robert Weinberg & Martin H. Greenberg  
         
     

The Valley of the Shadow is more of a speculative essay than a fiction, pondering what if God is the god of industry? What sacrifices would appease such a god?

Stableford does a great job of making a case for the sound and methodical reasoning of sociopaths.

      The only story from Complications and Other Science Fiction Stories, which is obviously from Brian's Emortality universe. This is a love story concerns a man who falls in love with a woman called Morella.

Through the miracles of modern virtual reality, they visit mysterious and romantic places like Dicken's London and Baudelaire's Paris; until Morella becomes tired and decides to leave.

Our hero is stricken and cannot bear to enter virtual reality and visit their old haunts. Until that is, he realises that Dickensian London isn't the only thing that can be simulated...
