[books 2012] Future Bristol

58. Future Bristol, edited by Colin Harvey

It's BristolCon next weekend, so I thought I'd better read the books put out by previous BristolCons. This is the first, from 2009, and I was pleasantly surprised.

The stories are all set in and around Bristol, but there's a wide variety in the approaches taken, though some themes recur - Brunel, slavery, environmentalism in general and the lack of political will to do anything about the city's incessant gridlock and appalling public transport.

This collection is better than it has any right to be - even the stories that are Not My Thing can't be faulted for sloppy writing.

hirez has a story in here, and very fine it is too.
