Excellent book. Only trading it because I have copies of the stories in other volumes. Best stories are 'Need' and 'Nightmare Island'.

This collection contains the following stories:

Abreaction - I did not read this one because it is also in a to-be-read book.

Largo - I liked this one even though it is similar to other stories I've read. A man writes and performs the ultimate in music.

Like Young - Man has almost died out from a plague and the survivors cannot reproduce. They set about leaving their wisdom for the Next Ones sort of like the dinosaurs leaving their knowledge for the mammals. Suprise ending!

Need - Did not like this one - very long and I did not get the point. Man seems to have supernatural ability to know what other people need and how to give it to them.

Nightmare Island - This is the story that inspired the cover of the book. Man is stranded on an island.

The Bones - Man invents a mind-reading device while trying to invent a new kind of radio. Hilarity ensues.
