Future Visions: Original Science Fiction Stories Inspired by Microsoft features work by Elizabeth Bear, Greg Bear, David Brin, Nancy Kress, Ann Leckie, Jack McDevitt, Seanan McGuire and Robert J. Sawyer, “also includes a short graphic novel by Blue Delliquanti and Michele Rosenthal, and original illustrations by Joey Camacho” and is available for free from the usual ebook retailers.
An interesting sort of vanity project for Mickeysoft. I would be more excited about it if not for the authors involved, who with the exception of Elizabeth Bear, Ann Leckie and Seanan McGuire are not exactly exciting nor the first ones I think about if I want science fiction writers with a firm grasp of the future. Rather, collectively this group seems to have peaked somewhere around the introduction of Windows 3.11.
