Reviews
Editor Benford challenged sf scribes to write about just what the title suggests, and they came up with interesting stories that run the gamut of possible responses, including, in Howard V. Hendrik's "Once out of Nature," a surprisingly thoughtful piece concerning the death of the main character's father. Geoffrey A. Landis provides an unnerving, if familiar, take on infinitely recursive computer simulations in "Ouroboros." Pamela Sargent contributes "Venus Blooms at Night," about employing virtual technology to further the dream of making another world habitable. Mike Resnick and Dean Wesley Smith's collection closer, "A Moment of Your Time," more or less neatly solves the familiar time-travel hitch of changing the future by interfering in the past by keeping those traveling from the future within a single moment of the past, free to move around but not to change anything. As Benford points out, sf writers have used microcosms for years, which accounts for why the quality of these works is so high. Regina Schroeder
