great sci-fi concepts

I thought some of these stories were just okay but some were absolutely spectacular. my favorites were after the victory and integration. dark sci-fi dozen well can just make you think about the possibilities. I see so.much potential in mecha sub-genre now that I've read this anthology.

Not 'as advertised'

Although good SciFi stories and they did, in general, have Mechs - it wasn't the fighting, stomping big ass Mechs doing battles across the galaxy from the general story description.
It is more a deep sci-fi / horror tech thriller group of short stories, good if you wanted that less so if you just wanted the cool mech stuff.

anthology is not for me

these short story anthologies are not for me.. Everything is disjointed and most short stories are just not long enough to tell an actual story, rather this is a ton of vignets I'D LIKE TO EXPLORE MORE FULLY
