The Starry Rift

I enjoyed this collection of short sci-fi stories. I read it over the course of a month or so, picking it up when I had a bit of time. There's a wide range of styles, from an 'old-school' spaceship drama, to the tale of a genetically-altered-gorilla-boy trying to cling to the shreds of his internet-fame
My favorites in this collection included:
-"The Dust Assassin" by Ian McDonald (Mechanical monkey bodyguards!)
-"Incomers" by Paul McAuley (A mysterious man on the second largest moon of Saturn...)
-"The Surfer" by Kelly Link. (Surfing-messiah + pandemics + soccer + aliens)
I also enjoyed Neil Gaiman's, "Orange," which confirmed some of my suspicions about fake tans and "Ass-Hat Magic Spider," by Scott Westerfeld because the title made me laugh.
