Too many sexual allusions which were unnecessary to the plots.

This is an interesting collection of short stories written by Robinson. I think there were only a couple that were set in the far future, while the rest were set in alternative near-futures, based on "What-Ifs". This was my first experience with this author, but not my last. Now I'm in the process of collecting and reading his CALLAHAN'S series, which promises to be just as intriguing, and rather more punny than this collection :o)
