This is a collection of 11 stories published in paperback in June 1971. 52 years ago. The stories within were originally published between 1956 and 1970. Most were 68-70. They haven't aged well. Several are cringeworthy where Silverberg was pushing the sex buttons of the wild and crazy 60's, but in some cases quite oddly. I recognized 6 or 7 of them from prior anthologies. The opening story became part of Silverberg's novel The World Inside. Two of the best stories in here were Nightwings and Passengers, which both won science fiction awards. The novella Nightwings was the first of three novellas that would be released in novel form as 'Nightwings', but the story as presented here from 1968 stands on its own as a very far future story set in the city of Roum. Almost a little too creepy for me to really enjoy, I still appreciated the imagination that created it. I also liked 'Collecting Team' which is an old-fashioned land and explore the planet adventure. But just suppose you find a planet with an overabundance of critters and then you find out that the collector has been collected!
