This book was a good further introduction. The title story, in the first category, is probably my favorite all told. I think Varley really nails the balance that makes good SF work. The settings, physical and social, are interesting, detailed, and well thought out, and what they support are strong, character-driven stories. He has some interesting angles on gender. So far, so good.
