The best of the era

Published in the early 80s, this represents some of the best short stories of the era. "Burning Chrome" is here, my first exposure to William Gibson, as well as "God is an Iron" from Spider Robinson.The rest of the book contains a number of authors whose names you may recognize: George R. R. Martin, Orson Scott Card, Dean Ing, and that Isaac Asimov guy.All the stories are well selected although the collection does suffer a bit somewhat from drift, ranging from Horror to Cyberpunk to straight Science Fiction, it is a must have for the serious collector of Science Fiction.
