Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Human Touch...
The future in space, be it with aliens or robots, will still need humans. Cooks, doctors, bar keeps, engineers, dancers, will all find a niche within the future of space travel and mankind's advance into the Galaxy. 14 original stories made for this book. Get it for your sci-fi library. Fun, touching and interesting.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Worth reading!
A wonderful book of short stories based on jobs in the future. I enjoyed most of the stories and their take on what the future has in store. Very interesting and creative ideas. It makes you wonder what the world will be like in 200, 500, 1000 years from now.

The stories contained are in the Hard SF category and set mostly in the near future and within our own solar system.

Some of my favourites are:

I KNEW A GUY ONCE - kept me laughing at how people don't change, no mater where they are.

COME ALL YE FAITHFUL - What an interesting story; what would it be like to be a priest on Mars?

CATALOG OF WOE - Really makes you think about the responsibility of colonizing new worlds.
