​Imaginative, well-thought out stories that will suck you in and take you for a ride. Reading a great anthology is like binge-watching Netflix. Just as one show ends, another one begins and keeps the momentum flowing.

What I liked:
Unique glimpses into possible future worlds. I especially liked Stasis Dreams by Josi Russell  and Spera Angelorum by Michael Darling.

What I didn't like:
Nothing! This is a fun read. Worth every moment of my time.

I give Future Worlds a solid five stars!
