<i>The Starry Rift</i> has 16 futuristic short stories by acclaimed authors. It’s marketed to young adults, but could easily have been for adults as well. The protagonists are almost all teens. The worlds and situations fit adult experiences also. The writing is excellent and compelling. Though I like some better than others, all of the stories are good and varied.
Note: I had to change my Favorites of 2008 to include it at the last minute, because I just finished it, and it is great.
