Scripter - philosophy, how do we know we are human/real, set in the milieu of an old RPG that is about to be shut down. A bit long but very good. 4/5
Between Zero and One - time travel, quantum theory, and mothers and daughters. 4/5
An Evolutionary Myth - the son of a usurped king slowly transforms into different kinds of mythical beasts. 3/5
Last of the Wolves - don't know what to make of this story. Humans are either fur-covered pets of something they call dragons, or scrawny strays living in the abandoned subway. 3/5
On the Origin of Species - robot society on Earth questions the idea that there could ever be such a thing as organic life. A bit laboured but OK. 3/5
Stars Shine in Earth's Sky - an inhabitant of a planet at the centre of the galaxy, where the sky is so densely packed with stars it is always light, tries to imagine how the sky might look from a planet at the edge of the galaxy where the sky is dark and has few stars. 4/5
On the Origin of Species and what might have happened thereafter - robots reasearch into the less regarded field of organic life eventually creates human infants, and the research team become maniacally devoted to them. 345 ( )

I did not much enjoy the intro (on breasts) or first story. The second story I liked a bit more, and then the rest were quite good. The stories after the first 2 (and intro) all consider evolution in some way: people evolving, the Earth's life forms evolving, even robots "evolving". I found these stories much more interesting than the computer-based stories.

Scripter: inside an old video game with just one logged-on player. Too much discussion of C and video game stuff for me

Between Zero and One: about time machines

An Evolutionary Myth: a king's heir leaves the kingdom and his usurper uncle; evolves while living on a mountain

The Last of the Wolves: humans have evolved into pets for dragons. Dragons and humans have different hearing/vision, so dragons cannot tell that their pets speak, and cannot see the same colors/parts of light as people. And vice versa.

On the Origin of Species: excellent part 1 in the distant future, where the earth is very cold and robots are the only "life"; they have hints in stories, their own looks, religion, of what might have come before. (Eg who made the factories?)

Stars Shine in Earth's Sky: someone on a distant planet writing a letter to her brother, discussing her "disability" and wondering about a line of text that came from Earth

On the Origin of Species--And What Might Have Happened Thereafter: part 2 of the robots, considering what might happen if they managed to understand organic matter ( )
