A groundbreaking anthology of short stories from award-winning writers and game-industry titans who have embarked on a quest to explore what happens when video games and science fiction collide. From text-based adventures to first-person shooters, dungeon crawlers to horror games, these twenty-six stories play with our notion of what video games can be-and what they can become-in smart and singular ways.… (mer)
Cherry picked through this -- really enjoyed the stories by Holly Black, Seanan McGuire, Django Wexler and Cory Doctorow. Flipping through the rest, nothing grabbed me, but I'm definitely not the intended audience. I think it's a solid selection if you are into video games. Cool concept. ( )
Crazy that I took basically a year to finish this book. I read the last three or four stories in the last 24 hours, thinking I was close enough to the end that I just needed to finish it. That included the Andy Weir story which was very short, and silly but fun, as well as the conclusion to the book by Hugh Howe’s (author of Wool, which I’ve heard a lot about but haven’t yet read), which I found surprisingly poignant and compelling.
Overall, most of these stories featured games prominently, and a few of them featured game developers. Some were better than others, but overall I’m glad I read this. ( )
See https://www.librarything.com/topic/219623#5489846 for LisaMorr's story-by-story review: I don't see a place to list the stories, but keep forgetting the name of Select Character by Hugh Howey which I want to recommend widely.
If you are a gamer and a reader, you will want to delve into this anthology. I will admit that I went right to Weir's story, Twarrior, when I downloaded my NetGalley file and while I did enjoy the quick read, one of my absolute favorites turned out to be Rat Catcher's Yellows by Charlie Jane Anders.
Book will be released on August 18th, go pre-order! ( )

I'm also anxious to find out if I'm the only one who missed their deadline because they spent way too much time doing "research" for their story... (Foreword)
