this particular compilation was low on material i'd consider profound. there were mystery texts, some uncharacteristic (and boring) stories about human relationships, some space cowboy stuff and really only a couple of texts of value, most of which went over themes that had already been developed.
but, that gets me through the vast bulk of the short-story material during his most substantive period.
the next short story collection is called buy jupiter and other stories and i expect it to be mostly throwaway, as well.
an update to the anthology reclassification is coming next.
