Neil Gaiman and Kelly Link, best known for fantasy, take on sci-fi. This immersive collection includes young adult writers like Scott Westerfeld and Garth Nix, but the only thing YA about the stories is that they are character driven. Standouts include Kelly Link's, "The Surfer," and Jeffrey Ford's lovely, "The Dismanteled Invention of Fate."
