The stories are all interesting and clever, but the slight abruptness of going from one, to another, to another, makes it easy to forget the one you read before. This may have been better as longer stories across more than one book, with a character of each story to invest in to make them more memorable. Expanded these could all be excellent stories - in the current form they come across more like video game demo's, where the reader will likely never have the opportunity to experience the full version. Still, definitely worth the read, for the broadness of ideas alone.
