A really solid collection of Victorian Science Fiction. It’s a great way to see how the genre was approached by different authors, and what the thoughts and sentiments of the times were. It’s well-curated, with short backstories of each of the authors to provide some context. Some of the stories are more interesting than others, but it all works well together and has good variety.
