Your Bet Your Planet, edited by Greenberg and Koren

Your Bet Your Planet, edited by Greenberg and Koren

Another themed short story collection, this one dealing with reality and game shows of the future. I don’t like reality shows, so I’m puzzled as to why I bought this book. A couple of the stories were cute (The Hollywood Dilemma by Russell Davis where Chuck Woolery turns out to be Satan is the highlight) but most were unremarkable at best. While I never felt like throwing this book away, it is probably the least entertaining group of short stories I’ve read in a long time.

First Sentence (from the introduction):
In the last few years, game shows and reality television have hit a new high.
